Overview
- Investigators say the probe began after a report on Aug. 9 and deputies took trustee Jibran Manna into custody that same day.
- Sheriff’s Office detectives executed search warrants at Manna’s home and office and seized multiple electronic devices that are now being examined by the Computer Crimes Unit.
- Prosecutors authorized two counts of capturing an image of an unclothed person and five counts of installing devices for eavesdropping after detectives say victims found cameras hidden inside smoke detectors.
- Officials say nude surveillance videos from the victims’ bedrooms and bathrooms were recovered on Manna’s cellphone and the case was described by the prosecutor as an appalling invasion of privacy.
- Manna was scheduled for arraignment in 48th District Court and faces potential penalties of up to five years for the image counts and up to two years for the eavesdropping counts while the investigation and forensic review continue.
