More details revealed in Gardena bathroom recording case

The Creep Factor turned up a notch today in the case against a 30-year-old former Gardena aerospace parts manufacturing worker accused of videotaping a colleague while she used the restroom. We already knew that Ryan Castillo had a crush on the woman, and would allegedly switch on remote cameras aimed at the toilet everytime she headed to the facilities.

But during a preliminary hearing today, we also learned that he asked her out over e-mail and in person, had her bank statements, credit card statements, a copy of her driver's license, taped-up checks she had shredded and, get this, a spreadsheet documenting what she wore everyday.

Castillo, who looks younger than his age and has quarter-sized holes in earlobes where those piercing discs used to hang, was married and apparently still is - based on the kiss he gave to the young woman at the back of the courtroom at the conclusion of the hearing.

A full story on the hearing will be in tomorrow's Daily Breeze.
