SEMINOLE COUNTY, Fla. — A local tanning salon is in the middle of a serial flasher investigation.
Seminole County deputies are looking into a complaint filed by a now-former employee of the salon. Documents show this is not the first time the client has allegedly flashed young workers at the South Beach Tanning Company.
Channel 9's Janine Reyes spoke with a former employee who brought this case to deputies nine months after the first report was documented.
"This is a big deal and something needs to be done about it," an 18-year-old former employee of the salon told Channel 9's Janine Reyes.
Raw: Woman describes incident at salon
The woman said she was two months into her job at South Beach Tanning Salon when a 54-year-old customer came in to tan.
She said that was when she noticed notes on the company's computer saying that customer likes to show too much.
Documents under investigation by Seminole County deputies show a history of employees writing notes about the 54-year-old.
Among the comments were: "He completely flashed me." "Did that to me too." "Always offer him a towel or you'll be flashed, ew!"
According to the young woman who worked at the salon, on July 5 the man was in the salon and asked her for another towel.
"When he opened the door he was completely naked," she said.
She said she reported it to managers, who didn't take action.
Reyes spoke to the salon owner by phone who said it was just a misunderstanding.
The owner said the only notes he knows of refer to 54-year-old customer asking for a second towel.
One note says the customer asked for a second towel in October of last year and was completely naked when the employee went to give him one.
The young woman who spoke with Reyes left her job at the salon.
"If they are not going to protect me it is not worth it to me," she said.
She said it's not the outcome she wanted, but said she feels she had no choice but to expose the man who she said exposes himself to young girls who work at the salon.
"That all of us, the girls I worked with, the girls at other stores, are safe and they don't have to experience him or anybody like him again," she told Reyes.
The owner said he is working with investigators. He provided video from inside his store to investigators Tuesday and said that after law enforcement got involved he asked the client to not return.
