SIMI VALLEY, Calif., Nov. 3 (UPI) --

Police in California allege a Family Christian Book Store employee accidentally recorded himself setting up a peeping camera in the store's bathroom.

The Simi Valley Police Department said Joseph David Ramon Moreaux, 28, of Lancaster, Calif., accidentally taped himself hiding the camera between boxes in the corner of a store restroom used by both men and women, KTLA-TV, Los Angeles, reported Tuesday.

The camera was discovered Sunday by a female patron who alerted police to its presence. Officers said they found the video of Moreaux hiding the camera on the device.

Police said they have not yet determined how long the camera was in place or how many victims there may have been.

Moreaux was arrested Sunday and charged with peeping with a recording device.
