## Resource

A former state parks supervisor in Orange County is facing explosive allegations after allegedly secretly recording male lifeguards and park aides for over a year using a hidden camera disguised as a USB stick. With at least 36 civil lawsuits now filed — more than double the initial count — victims are speaking out about the profound betrayal, trauma, and violation of privacy they endured. Pearsall, 59, denies all criminal charges, which could carry a heavy prison sentence if convicted, while multiple law firms push forward with civil cases against both him and the California Department of Parks and Recreation, accusing the agency of failing to protect its employees. This case has ignited a broader conversation about power, accountability, and the erosion of trust within public institutions.
