Best Buy Being Sued Over Shower Taping

People are calling the Geek Squad the Peep Squad. Geek Squad offers various computer related services and accessories for commercial clients as well as residential clients. The Geek Squad works for Best Buy.

Two woman, mother and daughter, have filed a lawsuit against Best Buy's Geek Squad. Best Buy employee and Geek Squad member Hao Kuo Chi, who is 26 years old, was arrested under charges of videotaping the daughter while she was showering.

On March 4, Hao Kuo Chi was hired by Natalie Fornaciari when she requested the service of Geek Squad to fix a broken computer in her house. Her daughter, Sarah Vasquez who is 22 years old, had taken a shower while the Geek Squad was at their home and after the shower noticed a camera cell phone with a blinking red light on the bathroom counter aimed at the shower. Vasquez left the bathroom to tell her younger sister, Kelly Rocha who is 13 years old, about the cell phone. When the two returned to the bathroom the cell phone had been removed and Rocha later found it in her room.

Hao Kuo Chi was still working in the home when both Rocha and Vasques left to view what was on the phone's memory chip while their mother remained at home with Hao Kuo Chi.

"I was shocked and felt angry and upset for my daughters when I learned what was on the video," said Fornaciari. "I felt disgusted because he was in my girls' home and in their bedrooms. I worried about what he might do. Was he going to put the video on the Internet and expose my daughters?"

As Vasquez watched the video on the memory chip she was horrified. "You could see him on the video setting it up," Vasquez said. "I was shocked." She added "I couldn't believe this was happening to me, I felt embarrassed and dirty because he did this when I was naked."

Rocha and Vasquez returned home and the police were called and Hao Kuo Chi was arrested.

On April 11th Best Buy provided this statement: "Best Buy was not informed of this action prior to being contacted by the media today. Obviously, we intend to cooperate fully with any investigation."
