The L.A. County District Attorney’s Office has rejected the initial filing of a case against a Valencia chiropractor arrested on suspicion he filmed people using a camera in the restroom of the office he practiced out of on McBean Parkway, according to documents obtained by The Signal.
Nicholas Vanderhyde, 41, of Valencia, was arrested June 4, after detectives with the Santa Clarita Valley Sheriff’s Station investigated a video camera found by an employee of The Joint Chiropractic.
On Oct. 29, the DA’s Office responded to a request for comment by stating, “A case remains under review,” and stated the following day, there was no information to share, in response to whether the case had been assigned to a prosecutor.
On Wednesday, the charge-evaluation worksheet dated Oct. 31 and signed by Deputy District Attorney Jeffrey Greenberg was shared with The Signal.
“(The L.A. County Sheriff’s Department) recovered the camera recording device and reviewed the video footage captured, which depicts several individuals including persons identified as female and male employees, and patients/guests of the location (some of whom were juvenile), using the restroom at various times over an extended period of time,” according to the worksheet.
The camera was attached to a battery source and placed toward the rear of a cabinet, which an employee reported seeing after she placed her keys on the cabinet, according to court records associated with one of three lawsuits that followed the camera’s discovery.
