The son of a Buc-ee’s co-founder has been indicted on nearly two dozen charges for filming people inside his family’s home using showers and having sex - but he says it’s allowed by law.
A Texas grand jury returned a 21-count indictment accusing Mitchell Wasek, 28, on 17 May of invasive visual recording, the Travis County district attorney announced this week. Wasek is the son of Don Wasek, the co-founder of Buc-ee’s, a chain of gas and travel centers that began in Texas and are spreading across the US.
The charges relate to 13 separate victims, who were alleged to have been secretly recorded by Wasek at his family’s lake home over the course of two years. The home is owned by Don Wasek.
David Gonzalez, an attorney for Mitchell Wasek, told Law&Crime that “due to the ubiquity of video-recording in modern society, this case involves the legal right to install cameras in one’s own home.”
