Bathroom Spy Camera Neighbor Locked Up on 2 Felonies: Cops

PLAINFIELD, IL — A Plainfield man wanted for using a high tech camera to spy on his neighbors while they used their bathroom was arrested and jailed Tuesday afternoon.

John Migetz, 57, was booked into the Will County jail on charges of unauthorized video recording and unauthorized video recording outside a residence. Migetz’s bond had been previously set at $100,000.

Migetz secretly video recorded a 37-year-old woman and a child who live down the street from him, according to a criminal complaint on file in Will County court.

The woman learned of Migetz’s creepy peeping after his wife happened upon his spy camera, according to a petition filed in Will County court.

“John’s wife had called the police because she had found a high tech camera system in their attic,” the woman said in a petition for a protective order.

“He had drilled two holes through his wall so the camera aimed directly down into my bathroom window,” she said. “The police looked at some footage and found it was of me, my husband and children. The police say they believe there was more but they need a warrant.”

The woman also said Migetz is “overly friendly” to her and her children.

“John is obsessed with me and his wife has told me there is more but she would not say what it was,” the neighbor said.

Migetz’s wife has since filed for divorce.

Migetz works as a an operations technology manager for McDonald’s, according to his LinkedIn page.
