PLEASANTVILLE, NY — A Pleasantville resident is accused of planting a camera to spy on his family's teenage nannies in their bathroom, The Journal News reports. Daniel Switzen is a director at CNBC, according to the paper.

TJN quoted the police complaint that the 44-year-old installed "a video recording device in the bathroom of his residence for his own amusement and or entertainment to surreptitiously view and or record a person dressing or undressing the sexual or other intimate parts of such person at a place and time when such person has a reasonable expectation of privacy, without such person's knowledge or consent."

It was discovered in November when the nanny was entertaining friends. Switzen was charged with second-degree unlawful surveillance and was due in Village Court Tuesday night, lohud.com said.
