"A Brooklyn man was sentenced Thursday to six months in jail for secretly recording "thousands of individuals" at a Nassau County sleep center and later destroying the evidence of his crime, officials said. Sanjai Syamaprasad, 48, was accused of placing hidden cameras disguised as smoke detectors inside bathrooms at the Northwell Health Sleep Disorders Center in Great Neck, and in a public bathroom in the same building, according to the Nassau County District Attorney's Office."
"In April 2024, NCDA detectives executed a search warrant at his Marine Park home and recovered multiple electronics, including phones, an SD card reader and three laptops. Syamaprasad was arrested on April 25, 2024, after telling investigators that he "threw out the smoke detector in a garbage can at a CVS on Avenue U [and] broke up a small CD card and threw it in the same garbage pail.""
