WESTON, Fla. – A man who worked in the urology department of a South Florida hospital has been accused of secretly recording victims while they urinated.
According to an arrest affidavit, Jeremy Galindo Ciocon, 31, of Weston, faces charges of video voyeurism.
Ciocon, a medical assistant in the urology department of the Cleveland Clinic Weston Hospital, allegedly used two iPhones to secretly film victims as they went to the restroom “for his own sexual arousal/gratification,” the report stated.
On Friday, one victim who used the restroom found a cellphone “actively recording” her while she was urinating, according to investigators.
A spokesperson for Cleveland Clinic Florida said Ciocon has since been removed from his position and released the following statement to Local 10 News Tuesday:
“We are strongly committed to protecting the rights and safety of our patients, visitors and caregivers from any type of inappropriate behavior. Once we were notified of the situation, this employee was immediately removed, and the authorities were contacted,” the statement read. “We are fully cooperating with law enforcement’s investigation and are also conducting our own internal review. We care deeply about patient and caregiver safety and any form of misconduct is not tolerated.”
Ciocon was given a $4,000 bond by a Broward County judge, which he has since posted, and was ordered not to return to the hospital as he awaits trial.
