Ocala, FL - A Florida man was arrested earlier this month after he was caught secretly recording young girls at an Ocala Walmart.
According to the Ocala Police Department, officers responded to the Walmart at 2600 SW 19th Avenue Road on August 9th following reports of a man acting suspiciously.
The man, identified as 32-year-old Joshua Gaines, was using a hidden camera to record the girls in the store's back-to-school section.
Reports indicate Gaines was previously banned from the store in 2023 for similar behavior.
When an employee recognized Gaines and noticed his suspicious actions, they immediately alerted authorities.
Upon arrest, investigators discovered a GoPro camera and two cellular devices in Gaines' possession.
Subsequent searches of the devices revealed hundreds of images of child pornography.
Gaines was taken into custody on 10 counts of digital voyeurism and 403 counts of possessing child pornography.
