Man charged after alleged filming in Melbourne pool change room
A 62-year-old man has been charged after allegedly filming people in a family changing room at Brimbank Aquatic and Wellness Centre in Keilor Downs, Melbourne.
Police say he filmed several people through a gap in a cubicle at about 11am on Sunday.
Another visitor spotted a phone under the gap and alerted the man, who allegedly deleted footage and threw the phone into a nappy bin.
A lifeguard retrieved the phone, and police recovered footage from its recently deleted folder.
The charges include producing child abuse material and an intimate image.
Police are reviewing the evidence and trying to identify other families who may have been recorded.
The accused is due to appear in Sunshine Magistrates’ Court on March 23, 2027, while the council has banned him from its facilities and is considering changes to the changing rooms.
