In a sick and disgusting story—on multiple levels—Miguel Angel Sierra-Meza, a janitor contracted to clean KOCO Channel 5, was arrested earlier this month on 28 “Peeping Tom” charges for allegedly hiding cameras inside bathroom vents to record unsuspecting victims at both the news station and a local private school.
He’s currently in Oklahoma County Jail, being held on a $280,000 bond. His mug shot is below.
So far, KOCO Channel 5 hasn’t reported on the arrest or the crime—probably because the entire news team and production staff are currently in therapy! Other local TV outlets are staying quiet too, likely fearing a “copycat custodian” scandal of their own.
The Oklahoman’s Nolan Clay, however, was on the case, going full live, local, late-breaking with this disturbing scoop:
[Sierra-Meza] can be seen in videos from the cameras placing the devices in the vents at KOCO-TV and Guidepost Montessori at Brasswood,” an Oklahoma City police detective reported in a court affidavit…
The first recording device was discovered when a television station employee on March 31 noticed dust falling onto her lap from the ceiling, according to the affidavit. The employee was in the stall of the women's restroom at the time.
The victim looked up, noticed the device in the vent, and notified her bosses, the detective reported. The second device was found in the staff restroom at the school after police began checking other businesses.
