Arizona pastor hid cameras to record women using church bathroom: police

An Arizona pastor was busted for secretly recording videos of women using his church’s bathroom after the camera fell out of a dryer, according to police.

Arturo Laguna, a pastor at the Casa de Adoracion in Phoenix, allegedly installed the recording device in the church bathroom last fall and recorded the women in October and early November, according to a police report obtained by Fox 10 Phoenix.

The perverted preacher was only caught after a mother discovered the camera while changing her baby’s diaper inside of the strip mall church’s women’s bathroom, cops said. 

Investigators later found screenshots of Laguna adjusting the camera inside of the bathroom. When police interviewed Laguna, he confessed to having put up the camera in October. 

Authorities searched the camera’s SD card and uncovered four short videos of adult women using the bathroom, according to the outlet.

The pastor was arrested in November and charged with multiple counts of voyeurism — a felony in Arizona. 

He was indicted last week and is scheduled to appear in court again on Jan. 9.

The Post has reached out to Casa de Adoracion for comment.

In October while he was allegedly filming the women, Laguna, who leads a largely immigrant congregation of about 100 people, spoke to the Associated Press about his faith community and the upcoming 2024 presidential election.
