Marlborough, Massachusetts, dentist accused of putting hidden camera in staff bathroom

Dr. Patrick Tu Huynh, a Marlborough, Massachusetts dentist, has been arraigned on seven counts of photographing individuals in a state of nudity without consent, as well as two counts of unlawful wiretapping. The charges stem from an incident where a hidden camera was discovered in a staff bathroom at the New England Dental Group. Initially found taped to the toilet by a dental assistant in May, Huynh claimed he would identify the responsible party, but another identical camera was later found. Investigators revealed that Huynh recorded several victims and footage of himself adjusting the camera lens.

He was arraigned and held on $10,000 bail, with conditions to stay away from the dental practice and the alleged victims. The case raises serious concerns about privacy violations in medical settings. Huynh is scheduled to return to court in September to face the charges. The incident has drawn attention to the importance of safeguarding personal privacy in workplaces.
