Former Employees Reportedly Photographed in Bathroom

ANGELINA COUNTY — Two women are suing their former employer, Dollar King, after being secretly photographed in the Lufkin store’s bathroom. While criminal charges of improper photography have been brought against the former manager, Nathan Scott Kesler, 36, joint employers Emergent HR, Inc., and Dollar King, LLC, now face a civil suit alleging negligence and wrongful termination.

The civil suit stems from an incident in which Kesler is alleged by police to have put his cell phone on a bathroom cabinet of the business in a position to photograph the toilet using a spy camera application. The two store employees were photographed in the restroom when the application, which uses motion detection, took the photos.
