“#Workers sue dental practice over hidden cameras found in bathroom<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

\n

An Illinois dental practice has been sued by 11 employees after an hygienist allegedly hid two cameras in the work bathroom, new court papers show.<\/p>\n

One camera was discovered Oct. 22 in a unisex employees\u2019 bathroom of the national dental chain Aspen Dental in Crestwood, and it was turned over to the police department, according to the lawsuits filed in Cook County Circuit Court on Thursday.<\/p>\n

That same day, dental hygienist Armani Alexander, 25, \u201cadmitted to placing the camera\u201d in the bathroom and was arrested, the court papers say.<\/p>\n

The office assured the workers that they swept the premises and didn\u2019t find any more cameras. <\/p>\n

Yet Oct. 26, a second camera was discovered in the same bathroom, the court documents allege.<\/p>\n

Lawyers for the workers \u2014 who include dentists, dental hygienists, dental assistants and a marketer \u2014 say the cameras were first placed in the bathroom sometime in September.<\/p>\n

Aspen admitted that a background check for Alexander \u2014 who had only been with the company for two months \u2014 \u201cwas flagged for criminal activity,\u201d the court papers say.<\/p>\n

Dentist Trent Jones, who along with dental assistant Alyssa Raine quit over the cameras, said the corporate office told him they knew Alexander had a criminal record. <\/p>\n

\u201cIn essence, Aspen Dental rolled out the proverbial red carpet for this documented offender so that he could carry out his perverse actions against a predominantly female staff,\u201d Jones said in a prepared statement.<\/p>\n

Raine said she was horrified to discover the violation of her privacy.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am a very private person, and when I learned on Oct. 22 that a camera was found in the employee\u2019s bathroom, I was shocked,\u201d Raine said in a statement. \u201cI was sick to my stomach. Many of us at the clinic were crying.<\/p>\n

\u201cI still cry about the way my privacy was taken from me,\u201d Raine\u2019s statement continued.<\/p>\n

Raine said that when the second camera was discovered despite Aspen\u2019s assurances that there were no others, \u201cI knew this was the absolute worst place to work.<\/p>\n

\u201cI still am unable to use any public bathroom,\u201d Raine said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese individuals relied on Aspen Dental to provide a safe and healthy working environment which they failed to do with their negligent hiring of a dental hygienist with a criminal background,\u201d <\/p>\n

Plaintiff lawyer Joseph Rourke said in a statement, \u201cAspen Dental, and its owners and managers, could have avoided this perverse invasion of privacy that resulted in unthinkable mental and emotional distress if they had followed up on the background check they conducted before deciding to hire this despicable individual.\u201d<\/p>\n

The workers \u2014 who are each suing for at least $50,000 \u2014 have brought claims of negligent hiring and supervision against the practice.<\/p>\n

Alexander did not immedia<\/a>tely return a request for comment.<\/p>\n

A woman who answered at Aspen Dental corporate declined to take a message.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
