Miami man accused of recording women with phone at Goodwill store
MIAMI -- Miami-Dade police arrested a man Monday after a woman at a Goodwill store caught him recording her while changing in a dressing room.
According to a police report, the Goodwill is located at 9760 Southwest 8 Street, Miami.
Diego Jose Rosales Morillo, 25, reportedly went into the changing area across from her and used his phone to record her while undressing.
The woman noticed Rosales Morillo while looking at the mirror in her room. She then put her clothes on quickly and confronted him before he "apologized" and said he "deleted" the video.
On Tuesday, July 9, the store manager saw Rosales Morillo and recognized him. Store cameras showed Rosales Morillo entering rooms to record a woman changing.
On Monday, August 12, a store video showed Rosales Morillo recording another woman.
Rosales Morillo, who was charged with voyeurism, was identified in a lineup by the store manager.
Police said Rosales Morillo admitted to being at the store but denied recording anyone and that he instead was "taking selfies."
Goodwill store customers told CBS News Miami they were troubled by the accusations.
"I think I am very concerned that this is something that you to worry about while you are dressing in privacy, in the privacy of a dressing room and it's just disappointing. You would assume that you are in the privacy of a changing room and you would not think that someone would do something so perverse," said Leslie Fonseca.
"It is very scary and it is unfortunate. I think it is a common thing that happens to women in public spaces where there are a lot of men where they can't control themselves and they think it's a good idea to kind of harass other women in public spaces," said Mia Ramirez.
"I think the fact that it even happened one time is very concerning at least for me. I love going to Goodwill and I love going to different places and trying on different clothes and the fact that something like this is capable of happening here is scary," said Ram Aires.
CBS News Miami stopped at Morillo's home but no one answered the door when we knocked.
A manager at the Goodwill superstore on S.W. 8th St. at 97th Ave. told CBS News Miami that he was not allowed to speak on camera or release the surveillance video of the suspect in this case.
CBS News Miami reached out to the main officer for Goodwill. They released the following statement:
"Goodwill Industries of South Florida does not tolerate outrageous and illegal behavior. The safety and well-being of our staff and customers is our top priority. Quick action by our store manager helped the police identify this individual and led to the arrest.
