Walmart employee arrested for recording video under woman’s dress

Staff report

GAINESVILLE, Fla. – Henry Gomez, 24, was arrested yesterday and charged with two counts of video voyeurism after allegedly using a phone to take video under another employee’s dress.

Gomez, who worked at the Walmart on NW 23rd Street, reportedly went into the store’s optical shop on both May 10 and May 13 and asked the optician to show him some glasses frames. While the optician was reaching for frames, Gomez allegedly positioned a cell phone under her dress while pretending to look at lower shelves or tie his shoes; he allegedly did this several times during each visit. He also allegedly put the phone on the floor at an angle in an attempt to capture video under the victim’s dress and also placed the phone in his lap for the same purpose.

The victim reportedly became aware of the placement of the phone and provided video of the incidents to Walmart security staff and law enforcement officers.

Gomez has been in Alachua County for five years and has no criminal history. Judge Walter Green set bail at $100,000.
