Teen undressing in tanning booth screams as she sees phone filming her, Utah cops say

A 17-year-old girl undressing in a gym tanning booth screamed when she spotted a phone taking video of her, Utah police told news outlets.

The person holding the phone through a gap between the wall and floor at VASA Fitness in Riverton pulled it away, according to an affidavit, KSTU reported.

Soon after, the girl spotted the phone a second time and yelled, again causing it to be pulled away Feb. 5, the Gephardt Daily reported. She finished tanning and left the gym.

She later told a friend and her mother about the incident, the outlet reported.

Justan Grover, 36, was arrested on charges of voyeurism and sexual exploitation of a minor after the girl’s dad called police, KSTU reported.

Gym security video reviewed by police showed Grover entering the tanning booth area with his phone out twice during the time when the incidents occurred, Gephardt Daily reported.

“We strongly condemn the act of filming individuals in private areas of our gyms,” VASA Fitness said in a statement to KUTV. “We have zero tolerance for violations of this policy and are taking necessary steps to address and prevent future occurrences which includes assisting law enforcement with their investigations.”

Riverton is about a 20-mile drive south from Salt Lake City.
