FDLE arrests Florida acupuncturist again for video voyeurism

SARASOTA, Fla.Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) agents arrested Dr. Rene Michael Ng, 62, of Bradenton, for eight counts of video voyeurism in violation of Florida Statute 810.145, a third-degree felony. This is the second time he has been arrested by FDLE for video voyeurism, according to the FDLE.

FDLE began its investigation on January 18, when a citizen contacted FDLE with information about Ng’s surreptitiously recording patients without their knowledge while they undressed, The FDLE said.

Agents executed a search warrant at his business on January 28 and reportedly recovered two covert recording devices.

Subsequent forensic analysis located video recordings of five patients and still images from deleted recordings of three additional patients, undressing in the exam room, the FDLE said.
