Chicago- A suburban lawyer hid two tiny wireless cameras in the women’s restroom of his Wheaton law office and secretly videotaped women using the toilet, according to a civil lawsuit filed Tuesday by a female employee of the firm.

The suit contends attorney Jerald Mangan hid the cameras, which allegedly transmitted images from the restroom to Mangan’s computer and to the office’s computer server. One camera was discovered in mid-September in a roll of toilet paper, the suit says. A second camera, hidden in a small basket of potpourri, was discovered Oct. 11, according to the suit.

“It’s shocking any employer would willingly put a camera in a women’s restroom,” said attorney Dennis DeCaro, who filed the lawsuit on behalf of the female employee.

The employee wasn’t identified by name in the lawsuit, which seeks unspecified damages and was filed in Cook County, where Mangan’s firm also has an office.

DeCaro said Wheaton police have been contacted about the alleged videotaping, although a police spokesman declined to comment Tuesday.

The law firm, Mangan, Langhenry, Gillen and Lundquist, also was named as a defendant in the suit because after the first camera was discovered by a female lawyer, other female employees weren’t notified, DeCaro contends. The firm, which has offices in Chicago, Joliet, Wheaton and Rockford, specializes in defending businesses from insurance claims, DeCaro said.

A spokeswoman for the law firm said Mangan, 48, is no longer affiliated with the practice, but declined further comment.
