Overview
- The San Luis Obispo County District Attorney filed a criminal complaint and obtained an arrest warrant for Kyle L. Combs on 12 misdemeanor invasion-of-privacy counts, and bail was set at $50,000 on Friday.
- The charges are tied to recordings made between July 12 and Dec. 29, 2025, with each count linked to a separate alleged adult victim.
- Arroyo Grande police launched the investigation after a Dec. 29 report at the Planet Fitness location and used surveillance footage and witness statements to identify a suspect.
- A forensic review of seized electronics recovered more than 50 videos showing women inside the gym’s tanning and red-light therapy rooms, and investigators are asking anyone who used those rooms in 2025 and has not spoken to police to contact Officer Brandon Earnest.
- Multiple civil lawsuits have been filed in connection with the case and prosecutors say the misdemeanor classification reflects current California law unless aggravating facts are present, a detail that county officials say could prompt calls for legislative change.
