An employee at a Firestone Auto shop, already accused of secretly recording women in a bathroom, has also been taken into custody over 183 counts of child pornography. Police said Ryan Wilkins secretly videoed two female customers inside an auto shop on on Williamson Boulevard."You now have shared intimate moments that weren't meant to be shared with anybody," Nicole Loveless said.Loveless agreed to be identified despite the nature of what allegedly happened to her at the Port Orange Firestone store.Loveless said she is outraged. She said she went to use the restroom and was stopped by an employee who said he had to go in first. "He stopped me to inform me that the toilet roll was empty, when it was not," Loveless said.Investigators believe Wilkins hid a video recording device in the lone toilet stall. Loveless said she saw a wire but didn't realize what it was. Authorities said a second victim discovered the device.Police said Wilkins told that victim the restroom was likely a mess and advised he would check prior to her going inside.That woman told police Wilkins was in the bathroom for nearly a minute before she went in. While in the stall, she said, she observed a small circle on the front of the plug, pulled the plug out of the wall and realized it was a camera lens.Police said the second victim told them Wilkins wanted her to hand over the device but she refused.Authorities said she found a video of herself as well as another female, later identified as Nicole Loveless.Loveless said she's speaking out to make sure others are alert to their surroundings."It was plugged into the wall and I just didn't realize," Loveless said. Wilkins was set for a first court appearance on the charges but posted $10,000 bond shortly before the appearance was scheduled to start.Authorities arrested Wilkins again on Friday on 183 counts of possession of photographs depicting sexual performance of a child.Volusia County Sheriff's Office said they recovered the pornographic images from Wilkin's cell phone while downloading data in his initial voyeurism case.
