The owner of Tanfastique Tanning Salon, 159 S. Garner St., was charged yesterday with invasion of privacy and possessing instruments of crime for allegedly spying on tanners through two "peep" holes in his office.
A search of owner Ron Hanslovan's office by the State College Police Department found a hinged board that, when lifted, revealed a large hole, 18 inches by 24 inches, with the first layer of drywall and all of the insulation removed, according to court documents.
Police determined that several small holes had been cut into the remaining drywall, which police say allowed Hanslovan to illegally view customers in tanning room 7 next to his office, said State College Police Detective and lead investigator Ralph Ralston.
Hanslovan said he was not aware of any charges.
"I had no idea charges were filed against me," Hanslovan said. "I have done nothing wrong."
According to the criminal complaint, one hole displayed a view of the area next to the tanning bed where a person would get undressed or change into a bathing suit, while another hole would show straight through the tanning bed, including a view of the crotch area of any customer.
