The apparent owner of a Rockville Centre massage parlor faces felony charges after a customer spotted a camera in one of the therapy rooms, the Nassau County Police Department said.
Police arrested Luke Unneland, 38, of Copiague, after a 32-year-old woman reported a recording device on the wall of a massage room at Kokoro Wellness at 78 North Village Ave., according to a Nassau police news release.
Police found at least three other people were victims, the release said.
Unneland was charged with four counts of second-degree unlawful surveillance. He pleaded not guilty at arraignment Saturday in Nassau District Court, where an order of protection was issued and he was released on no cash bail, according to online court records. Attorney information for Unneland was not immediately available.
Unneland is listed as the owner and manager of Kokoro Wellness on his LinkedIn page.
A 35-year-old woman who works at the business was also charged with unauthorized practice of a profession, police said.
Police asked people who believe they may have been victims to contact the Nassau County First Squad at (516) 573-6153 or call 911. All callers will remain anonymous.
