Mitchell Wasek, 28, is facing accusations he secretly recorded males and females “using toilets, showering, changing clothes, and/or having sex,” according to an arrest affidavit from Texas authorities and reported on by Austin-based KXAN.
Wasek, the son of Buc-ee’s co-founder Donald Wasek, was arrested Tuesday in Travis County, the outlet reported.
The creepy scheme was exposed when guests at the lake house — who were there with Mitchell Wasek — spotted a charging port with a hidden camera plugged into the bathroom wall, the station reported.
The friends took the camera and found dozens of videos of themselves and other people in the bathroom and bedrooms in the lake house on a micro-card, and in Mitchell Wasek’s Dallas apartment, court records stated.
“They were unaware that the recordings existed in the bedroom and bathroom, and indicated they did not consent to being recorded or photographed,” the arrest affidavit states.
When the camera and its info was handed over to police, 68 files of footage including the 13 alleged victims were on it, the affidavit stated.
The videos date back to at least 2021 from other locations, including an Austin condo and a vacation home in Colorado, owned by Mitcchell Wasek’s parents, KXAN reported, citing property records.
“Spy cameras” purchases were also linked to Wasek and when people were recorded, Wasek was the only family member at the home, the station reported.
Wasek was charged with 28 felony counts of invasive visual recording and was released from jail after posting $280,000 bail.
The brand name business is known for its spotless bathrooms and even brag about them on its website.
The first location was opened in 1982 by Arch Aplin III before Don Wasek, who owned his own store, joined the business three years later, Forbes said in a 2017 report.
