DeSales Employee Allegedly Videotapes Lactating Co-Worker

John Bednarik II, a DeSales University employee, is charged with hiding a camera in a co-worker's private office to tape her pumping breast milk.

 

OUTSIDE ALLENTOWN, PA -- A DeSales University employee is out on bail after police arrested him for allegedly installing a camera in a co-worker's office to videotape her pumping breast milk. He admitted his actions to police, according to a criminal complaint.

(Follow us on Facebook or get our newsletter for the latest on this and other news as it happens)

John Bednarik II, 33, of Blandon (Berks County) was arrested for invasion of privacy on Thursday (May 31) after DeSales police contacted investigators to report an employee. According to both his Facebook page and LinkedIn, Bednarik works at DeSales as the Director of Campus Environment within the Facilities Department. 

According to the criminal complaint, the victim told police that she went into her office to pump breast milk for her baby with the door closed. The complaint goes on to say that "while doing so, her shirt is removed and her breasts are exposed." 

The victim told police a noise caused her to look up, where she saw a small hole drilled into a ceiling tile directly above her office. Through the hole the victim "observed a camera lens" directly over her desk. While exiting her office, she told police that she ran into Bednarik, who is also a neighbor of the victim, exiting the office next door. 

When DeSales officers arrived, Bednarik produced a Sony video camera, which was turned over to investigators. Bednarik was taken into custody and interviewed at the Upper Saucon Police department, where he admitted to drilling the hole and placing the video camera above the victim's desk "for the purpose of sexual arousal and gratification."

Investigators confirmed the camera was recording the victim while pumping breast milk.

Bednarik was arrainged Thursday by District Judge David B. Harding in Coopersburg and is currently out on $10,000 unsecured bail. His preliminary hearing is set for June 27.

Harding also issued a no-contact order between Bednarik and the victim, due to the invasive nature of the crime and the proximity of Bednarik and the victim. 

The above information was supplied by District Justice David B. Harding's office. Where arrests or charges are mentioned, it does not indicate a conviction.

What a jerk and a pervert! He had absolutely no right to invade her privacy. They let him out on $10K bail. What a slap to her face. I hope she sues him in civil court. What if he had posted it on facebook? Talk about not thinking about the consequences of ones actions. Stupid!

Yeah, sure: go throught all the trouble, hassle, emotional baggage, and expense of a relationship - and possibly a child - just so you can watch a woman lactate. LOL!

There are adult videos galore available on the subject. Find one featuring a woman that looks like her, if you've got a crush on her in particular.

Probably not the lactating that turns him on, per say. It's more the fact that he is sneaking a peak at a woman he has a crush on with her breast exposed. Like a twelve year old boy.

It's funny, when you think about it, how there's expectation of privacy at work if a fellow employee violates it, but you'll be fired for having sex in your office if the employer finds out about it, because there's supposedly - then - no expectations of privacy.

While I think that his behavior is abominable, way too frat boy stupid for an adult professional, your privacy issue is certainly germane. An issue for a segment of the population is to permit breast feeding in public. Is breast pumping as natural an activity as breast feeding? Is the natural nature of an activity determined by its purpose or by its form? If the purpose is determinative, then pumping is also natural because the purpose is to nourish a child. So then, by the reasoning of the segment of the population that seeks support for public breast feeding, there is no expectation of privacy in the act. Therefore, the only expectation of privacy is in the location. If it has been determined by case law or statute that an office does not have an expectation of privacy, there is no offense. However, there may be a limited expectation of privacy provided by case law or statute. Interesting set of facts, should be fun to follow the argument.

There is a federal law that mandates employers to provide a private place to nursing mothers in order for them to pump. The last time I checked, there was no such law for employees who wanted to have sex in the office.

@ Barbara...So either the University is in violation of federal law or the "victim" is in violation of school policy by not using the designated area.

@dude... the designated area was probably her office. The law says that you have to be furnished with a private area that locks, other than a restroom. I am a teacher and we are told to use our classroom when the students are at lunch.

How do you tape lactating since it is an internal body function? Did he tape here pumping milk or breast feeding? He damn sure didn't tape her lactating.

Sarge, lets look at lactating in a man's way. Lactating equates to the same end result of when a faucet stem washer no longer fullfilles its function...drip, drip, drip. Oh and if appropriate, Thank-you for your service, Sir.

Hmm I think "lactating" means here that a woman is producing milk. So the milk can be seen oozing out of the breasts. She goes further to pump it into a container so then she can easily feed her baby. But our society gets all crazy about censoring and privatizing this natural activity. No other living mammal gives a rats behind whether it is seen by others or not.

So I have read comments that state this should not be against any privacy laws because pumping is the same as breastfeeding. Ahem...I think you are full of it! Breastfeeding is natural and can be done in public but if I am breastfeeding my child in my living room and a nasty comes to peep into my window I would call the cops. This is the same thing. She sought a private setting and he violated her privacy.

Considering he has keys to all the dorm rooms, I wonder if there are any other peep holes for a video cam in the bathrooms of the female students? In his professional role of safeguarding students on campus ... a Catholic University campus ... it should have been a red flag to university administrators when Bednarik's Facebook profile pic shows him in a bar, sucking on a straw from a curvaceous, bikini-clad drinking glass. Hello? I guess it's okay as long as he's not a priest.

when you are breastfeeding, you have to be able to pump as your body and baby needs. If you don't, you experience pain and a decrease in milk supply. Kinda like use it or lose it, haha. Breastfeeding women are allowed to pump at work and it is protected by law.

So the lady was in HER office with the door shut. (technically a private place) She wasn't in Mr. Creepo-perverts office nor did she have HER office door open to invite her coworkers in for a show. Doesn't that count for anything. Also, he came up with the idea of sneeking in and HIDING a camera. If she were outside of her office, in an undesignated area and someone shot a video that would be a different story.

WOW! Scary to think this peeping pervert LOSER has ANY sympathy! What complete TOOLBAGS u male pigs are! obviously have no clue that when new moms breast feed their young, many times milk naturally produces on its own (not on a time clock), and those mums who care enough to go through the trouble to feed their young through this process deserve time, privavcy and F'N respect to do so, since our society lacks the idea of parent-child /care bonding quality time-off ...hummm sounds like some of you could of stayed on your own mom's tit much longer, or better off, should of been a muffler

TO ANSWER THE QUESTION, "Why in the hell is she doing it at work anyway?"... ASKING THAT IGNORANT QUESTION IS LIKE ASKING WHY ANYONE WOULD PEE AT WORK. WHY WOULD SOMEONE PEE AT WORK WHEN THEY COULD WAIT 8 OR 10 HOURS AND JUST PEE AT HOME ON THEIR OWN TIME AND IN THEIR OWN HOUSE? THE ANSWER IS BECAUSE THEY HAVE TO, BECAUSE THEY CAN'T WAIT THAT LONG, AND BECAUSE THEY EXPECT NOT TO BE SPIED ON WHILE DOING SO. FOR ALL YOU IDIOTIC, IMMATURE SEX CRAZED DOPES WHO ARE AROUSED AT THE MERE THOUGHT OF A BREAST, PERHAPS IF YOU ARE SOOOO INTO BREASTS YOU MIGHT GET A VAGUE IDEA OF HOW THEY WORK AND WHAT THEY WERE ACTUALLY INTENDED FOR. MILK, LIKE URINE, IS NOT PRODUCED ON DEMAND BUT RATHER IS NATURALLY PRODUCED BY THE BODY ON IT'S OWN SCHEDULE. THAT'S WHY SHE WAS PUMPING AT WORK!!! WHY DON'T ALL YOU ADOLESCENT PIN HEADS GET A CLUE IN LIFE. IF YOU SPENT LESS TIME JERKING OFF AND MORE TIME LEARNING ABOUT REAL LIFE, PERHAPS YOU WOULDN'T BE SO IMMATURE, OBNOXIOUS AND IGNORANT. TRY DEVELOPING SOME MENTAL FALCUTIES AND SOCIAL SKILLS AND THEN INSTEAD OF GETTING ALL PERVERTED EVERY TIME THE TOPIC OR THOUGHT OF A BREAST COMES UP, YOU MIGHT ACTUALLY SOMEDAY BE ABLE TO SEE ONE IN REAL LIFE, ATTCAHED TO A REAL WOMAN WHO DESERVES RESPECT AS A PERSON. YOU DREWELING NEANDERTHALS NEED TO GET A LIFE AND GET A CLUE. YOU ARE A WASTE OF OXYGEN.
