RIVERBANK, Calif. — A Stanislaus County Probation Corrections Officer is accused of recording a woman changing in a Target fitting room.
According to the Stanislaus County Sheriff's Office, it happened Nov. 12. A 21-year-old woman was shopping at the Riverbank Target and trying on clothes in the fitting room when she saw a cell phone above the door.
Deputies said she put on her clothes and walked out to confront the man, but he went into a neighboring fitting room and pretended to be trying on shoes. She was able to confront him and told him to delete the video, but the man ran away, deputies said.
Deputies were able to identify the man's car and license plate through surveillance video. It led to them to Adrain Machuca, 29, of Waterford.
Deputies said he's an employee of the Stanislaus County Probation Department as a Probation Corrections Officer. The department cooperated with the investigation and Machuca was taken into custody at work on Nov. 19.
Machuca was arrested and booked on suspicion of possession of matters depicting sexual conduct and invasion of privacy. He posted bail at $51,000 and was released.
It's not clear if there were other victims. According to deputies, Machuca no longer has access to the department facilities or incarcerated youth since being arrested.
