Martial Arts Class Owner Arrested For Filming Children’s Bathrooms

The owner of a martial arts class in Pembroke Pines was arrested after a pupil discovered hidden cameras in the bathroom.

Robert Franco, 64, has been charged with video voyeurism.

A 17-year-old female student discovered two hidden cameras inside the martial arts studio bathroom, according to police.

The owner may have had the cameras up and recording inside the restroom since March, according to Pembroke Pines police.

“A wide variety of victims being exposed at a time that’s most sensitive to the victims,” Feiner said. “They were unclothed, they were unassuming and they were behind closed doors in a restroom, either using the bathroom or perhaps changing their clothes.”

Police are combing through the video they said Franco tried to destroy. Police are also all checking his phone and computer.

Master Franco’s Taekwondo Academy is located just a few blocks from the Pembroke Pines Police Department.

Classes are available for children and adults of all ages at the studio.
