Authorities say a 37-year-old Aurora man is at the center of a secret recording case in Kendall County, where investigators allege he planted a camera inside a private home and let it roll without anyone’s consent.
The man, identified as Laureano I. Mora-Diaz, has been charged with eight felony counts tied to what officials describe as covert video recordings inside a Kendall County residence. He is being held at the Kendall County Jail and is scheduled to appear in court Friday. The criminal probe began after deputies received a report of a possible surreptitious recording on March 22, according to the sheriff’s office.
The Kendall County Sheriff's Office and the U.S. Marshals Great Lakes Regional Fugitive Task Force took Mora-Diaz into custody following an investigation, Shaw Local reports. The outlet notes that the eight felony counts allege unauthorized video recordings inside a residence, and that prosecutors have not yet posted charging documents online.
