POMONA, Calif. – A 22-year-old woman and her mother are suing Best Buy and its “Geek Squad” computer repair team, claiming that a technician dispatched to their home used a cell-phone camera to record the daughter taking a shower.
Sarah Vasquez and her mother, Natalie Fornaciari, said in the lawsuit, filed Wednesday, that 26-year-old Hao Kuo Chi placed his cell phone in the bathroom during a service call March 4 in the family’s Walnut home.
Vasquez said she noticed the blinking phone positioned on the sink when she got out of the shower.
“I couldn’t believe this was happening to me,” Vasquez said. “I felt embarrassed and dirty because he did this when I was naked.”
Chi was arrested and charged with using a camera to view a person without consent and annoying or molesting a child under 18, sheriff’s Sgt. Bob Skidlarski said.
