Robert Shrader, a former employee at Memorial Hermann The Woodlands hospital, has pleaded guilty to seven felony charges related to invasive visual recording. The conviction comes after the discovery of hidden cameras that were used to record individuals in sensitive areas within the hospital.

The investigation revealed that the cameras were placed in locations such as hospital bathrooms and dressing rooms, compromising the privacy of numerous individuals. The specific details regarding the exact number of victims or the timeline of the recordings were not provided in the available information.

Shrader’s legal proceedings concluded with a sentencing of four years in a Texas state jail facility. The court ordered that these sentences are to be served consecutively, meaning each sentence will be completed one after the other. The exact date of the sentencing was not specified.
