SANTA CRUZ >> A 35-year-old Capitola man was arrested Friday in connection with placing a hidden video camera in the Verve Coffee Roasters bathroom at the 800 block of 41st Avenue, according to the Sheriff’s Office.

Sage Savage is charged with sexual exploitation of a child, burglary and using a camcorder in a restroom, Sgt. Brian Cleveland said.

The coffee shop’s employees told authorities about a recording device in the restroom on June 21, when the device was placed about 12:30 p.m., Cleveland said. It was not found for three hours. The recorder, which was pointed at the toilet, captured videos of men, woman and children, Cleveland said.

Using surveillance outside the coffee shop, detectives were able to identify Savage, who had no association with the business, Cleveland said.

While searching Savage’s home per an arrest warrant on Friday, authorities found “additional evidence that linked Savage to the crime,” and other recordings of sexual acts with woman who might not have known they were being recorded, Cleveland said.

Detectives are trying to find additional victims who used the restroom at the coffee shop between 12:30 and 3:30 p.m. on June 21.

No Santa Cruz County Jail records were available for Savage on Friday afternoon. His bail was set at $100,000, Cleveland said.

Anyone with information about the case can call detectives at 831-454-7642 or 831-454-7643.

Savage has no criminal cases listed in Santa Cruz County Superior Court.
