Man arrested after allegedly installing camera in woman’s bathroom to spy on her while she showered

The small camera was installed in woman’s bathroom ceiling

The Harris County Sheriff’s Office has arrested and jailed a man accused of installing a camera in his neighbor’s bathroom.

According to court documents, Brian Matthew Burnette, 48, is charged with Invasive Visual Recording, a state jail felony.

On Friday, Burnette was being held in the Harris County Jail in lieu of a $5,000 bond.

The female neighbor, who remains unidentified, noticed holes in the ceiling of her bathroom and asked a friend to investigate. That friend discovered the camera and was able to watch the footage.

It showed the woman nude in her shower, according to the court document.

Another clip showed a man nude, in a similar but different bathroom. That man was later identified by the friend as Burnette.

The woman moved out of her rented townhome shortly after the incident took place.

Burnette is currently barred from contacting the woman or returning to his own home, as a bond condition.
