'We trusted him': Man charged with voyeurism, accused of hiding camera in Louisville CycleBar

Owner Annie Locke said an employee found the camera in a jar filled with feminine products Thursday after a daily sweep.

MIDDLETOWN, Kentucky — A Louisville man is being charged after he allegedly placed a hidden camera inside of a restroom at CycleBar.

According to court documents, 25-year-old Eddie Lam placed a hidden pen camera inside of a unisex restroom located in a CycleBar fitness center in Middletown

Owner Annie Locke said an employee found the camera in a jar filled with feminine products Thursday after a daily sweep.

Locke says the camera was pointed in a direction of a toilet seat.

"Sick. Sick to my stomach. Sick all night that there are people like this out there that we trusted that can do something like this," Locke said.

A Middletown Police Department officer recovered the device and saw footage capturing both genitalia and breasts of patrons, the citation said.

Documents say Lam told police that he had placed the same device in the same restroom a total of three times.

"He's been here over a year. We trusted him," Locke said.

She says she's not going rest until Lam is behind bars. 

"They're never going to get away with this, and I'm going to do everything that I can to let everyone know that he's not going to do this to women, to men or to anyone else," she said. 

Lam faces at least eight counts of voyeurism and is scheduled to be in court again Dec. 16.
