news crews at Highland Ave. YMCA

[maffematician.livejournal.com]

A bit outside of Davis, but still on Highland Ave - Somerville police arrested a man who was living at the YMCA and secretly video recording and taking pictures of women in the locker room and bathroom.

News crews from channel 7, NECN, and possibly another station are outside the Somerville YMCA right now reporting on this story.
Channel 7 evening news at 4:00, 5:00, and 6:00 filed reports live in front of the Y.

Couldn't find an article on the Somerville Journal website yet, but Boston.com and Somerville Patch have these articles.

edit:
My mistake; Somerville Journal had posted an article a few hours before my post. I just didn't find it.

I didn't even realize that people lived at this Y.

He had to have been pretty small to fit inside a toilet. Either that or the toilets at the Y are remarkably large.

I think they meant he was inside of the stall, filming through the crack of the door.

ACK!!! That's my gym!! How horrifying! It sounds, from the first article, like he was in the downstairs locker room. The bathroom stall in the upstairs locker room doesn't face a changing area.

Yep, pretty wild. My girlfriend uses the gym there, too. She doesn't use the locker room there because we live three doors down from the Y and it's more convenient to return home where we have our own... facilities. But she still freaked at the news
