Landlord Admits To Installing Hidden Cameras In Hazleton Mother’s Bathroom

WILKES-BARRE — A Schuylkill County landlord pleaded guilty Thursday to installing hidden cameras that captured a tenant and her 14-year-old son using the bathroom. Christopher Shenyo, 41, of Brandon Street, Sheppton, admitted to setting up multiple cameras inside an East Beech Street residence he owned in Hazleton, but claimed he only sought to record the mother, not her two minor children because he “is not into children like that,” according to the affidavit. Shenyo, confronted by investigators at his home in November, maintained he did not view the images. Investigators discovered the camera, placed under a sink and pointed toward the toilet and shower, had recorded the mother as well as her 14-year-old son as they were nude, the affidavit says.
