Indiana surgery center sued over hidden cameras

CARMEL – A woman who owns a tanning business is suing a Carmel plastic surgery practice, claiming the office pointed hidden cameras at undressed women as part of its security system.

Pam Sanders filed a civil lawsuit Friday against Van Natta Plastic Surgery and Meridian Plastic Surgery Center in Carmel. A former client, she ran a spray-tan business in a makeup room at the center.

Practice spokeswoman Myra Borshoff Cook said the surgery center mounted cameras in a break room and the makeup room because of a problem with theft.

Sanders told television station WTHR she found out about the cameras in May from an employee. She filed a police report and said women changed clothes in the makeup room. Hamilton County police said the case is open, but not active.
