Authorities Wednesday sought additional victims of a 21-year-old man charged with recording women in bathroom stalls at a Lancaster restaurant.
Jesus Calvario, who allegedly hid in a women's bathroom stall at the Denny's restaurant at 1028 W. Avenue I and used his cellphone to take video of women using the restroom, pleaded not guilty Tuesday to 21 misdemeanor counts of unauthorized invasion of privacy, three misdemeanor counts of unauthorized invasion of privacy of an identifiable person and one misdemeanor count of possession of methamphetamine.
Calvario is due back in court in Lancaster Nov. 29 and remains jailed in lieu of $100,000 bail.
