Seventeen Employees File a Lawsuit Against a Restaurant Owner for Filming Videos Up Their Skirts
Seventeen women have filed a civil lawsuit against an Illinois restaurant owner accused of secretly filming ‘up-skirt’ videos with cameras placed on his shoes.
The women were all employed by Michael Papandrea, 59, who owns two popular eateries in suburban Chicago – Parmesans Station in Tinley Park and Parmesan’s Wood Stone Pizza in Frankfort.
Papandrea was initially arrested and charged with unauthorized video recording in March 2020 after state police received a tip-off about his alleged use of covert cameras.
Investigators seized several of Papandrea’s electronic devices and discovered multiple videos of female employees.
