WINDCREST, Texas — A 62-year-old man has been arrested after he allegedly used a hole in an outdoor bathroom wall to photograph people renting his backyard pool.
Joe Anthony Gonzales is accused of possessing or promoting lewd visual material depicting a child, according to an arrest affidavit.
The investigation began on September 2 after a woman told Windcrest police she had rented Gonzales’ pool for a gathering. She said she and her two 7-year-old granddaughters were undressed inside the outdoor bathroom when one of the children noticed someone taking photos through a hole in the wall.
The woman told police she saw hands holding a camera through the opening before the person quickly moved away. A 17-year-old who attended the gathering also told officers she had seen someone’s eyes looking through the same hole while she was changing.
Officers later found an opening where a brick had been removed from the bathroom wall. The other side of the wall was inside a garage, where police found plywood propped against the opening and paint cans nearby.
Gonzales denied the allegations but told a Texas Ranger he was the only person at the home during the pool rental and that no one else had access to the garage. He also consented to a search of his phone, where officers reported finding more than 300 deleted photos, including images and videos of young females.
