A Pompano Beach man accused of hiding cameras in the men’s handicap stalls at YouFit gyms across South Florida and recording hundreds of videos over the course of two months appeared in court Thursday.
Boynton Beach police said Bernado Reyes Lopez Santiago, 30, recorded over 400 videos of about 128 victims over the course of two months.
The investigation began on Sept. 11, 2023 when police responded to a suspicious incident at the YouFit located at 801 N. Congress Ave. in Boynton Beach, according to an arrest report.
The report said an employee found a “hidden spy camera under the sink in the men’s handicap bathroom stall.”
Santiago appeared in Palm Beach County court Thursday and was being held at Palm Beach County Jail on $50,000 bond.
He was ordered to have no contact with YouFit gyms or any other fitness centers.
Santiago’s next court appearance is scheduled for June.
