P’ville Man Must Register as Sex Offender for Spying on Nanny
A Pleasantville man was sentenced Tuesday to having to register as a sex offender for placing a hidden camera in a bathroom inside his home to spy on his family’s teenage nanny.
Daniel Switzen, 45, a former CNBC director, was also given five years sex offender probation by County Court Judge Susan Cacace, according to the Westchester County District Attorney’s office.
The father of two children hid a camera inside a tissue box inside a bathroom, which was discovered by the victim, law enforcement authorities stated. Switzen admitted to placing the camera in the bathroom to capture the victim and her friends on video.
He was arrested in November 2017 for unlawful surveillance and pleaded guilty in May.
A Sex Offender Registration Act hearing was scheduled for Nov. 13.
