Overview
- The defendant, identified in reports as Bayron or Bayson Elias Pu, 31, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to one year in the State Jail Division with 150 days credit, leaving about 215 days to serve.
- Investigators say Pu was arrested on New Year's Eve after a recording device was found in a public restroom at the Lupe Tortilla along the Katy Freeway.
- Court records and local reports state the camera produced video of a woman and a child, with outlets reporting between two and six clips and one report noting the child appeared to be about 7 to 8 years old.
- Lupe Tortilla told reporters it cooperated with investigators and another employee discovered the device inside the restaurant restroom.
- Court records say Pu worked at the restaurant as a dishwasher and had an immigration hold placed by federal authorities, and the case raises privacy and workplace screening concerns for public businesses.
