Juan Martin Aponte, 32, has been held on $500,000 bail since his arrest in May. He pleaded no contest to five felony counts, including two counts of using a minor for a sex act and three counts of eavesdropping, and will be sentenced to five years in state prison, the Los Angeles County district attorney's office said. A sentencing hearing was set for August 24. The taping allegedly occurred between November and February in a trailer outside a restaurant being renovated as a new Hooters -- a chain best known for its scantily clad waitresses. Police investigated after a woman said she was asked to try on a Hooters uniform in a job interview. About 180 digital recordings were found at Aponte's home and the construction trailer, authorities said. Officials with the Atlanta-based restaurant chain have said it is against company policy to ask job applicants to change clothes. |
