DES MOINES, Iowa — A Des Moines man is facing multiple charges for allegedly placing a hidden camera in a porta-potty at an event at Water Works Park earlier this month.

Tyler Pavlick, 32, is being held in the Polk County Jail on seven counts of sexual exploitation of a minor and three counts of invasion of privacy. He was booked into jail on Wednesday afternoon.

Sgt. Paul Parizek, Public Information Officer for the Des Moines Police Department, said the investigation began on October 4th, a little after 4:30 p.m., after police were notified that a device believed to be a hidden camera had been found in a porta-potty at Water Works Park. The park was the location of the Harvest & Handmade Fair on the day of the incident.

Investigators were able to download videos from the camera, which was placed inside the bowl of the toilet and angled so the faces of those entering the porta-potty were visible, and also to catch them using the toilet.

During the investigation, Havlick was identified as a suspect. After executing a search warrant on Wednesday at an East Village apartment, he was taken into custody in connection to the case.

Sgt. Parizek said there were dozens of victims, adults, and children included. Some have been identified, but dozens more have not.

Police are asking anyone who attended the Harvest & Handmade Fair on October 4th and used one of the portable toilets to reach out to them by emailing fcs@dmgov.org. A detective will make contact to follow up.

The investigation is ongoing, and more details will be provided bythe police as they become available for release.
