The former manager of a Twinsburg pizza shop has been sentenced to four years in prison for videotaping female employees with a hidden bathroom camera.

34 year-old Paul Strebler of Tallmadge pleaded guilty to charges related to the hidden camera taping in September.

Prosecutors say Strebler set up the hidden camera to record several female employees, some under the age of 18.

He fled to the Grand Canyon in Arizona, where he was arrested by park rangers.

(Summit County Prosecutor's Office, news release) Summit County Prosecutor Sherri Bevan Walsh announced today that Summit County Common Pleas Court Judge Lynne Callahan sentenced Paul Strebler, 34, , of Norton Drive in Tallmadge, to four years in prison. Strebler was also designated a Tier II sex offender, meaning he will have to register with the local sheriff every six months for the next 25 years.

On September 16, 2015, Strebler pled guilty to the following charges:

Two counts of Illegal Use of a Minor in Nudity Orientated Material – both felonies of the second degree
Seven counts of Voyeurism – misdemeanors of the first degree

"Paul Strebler violated his victims and destroyed their sense of privacy. This has become a living nightmare for the girls involved," said Prosecutor Walsh. "Many of the victims worked for Mr. Strebler and trusted him. I am pleased to know the community will be kept safe from the deviant actions of Mr. Strebler."

Strebler was the manager of a local pizza restaurant and the district manager at several other shops. Strebler set up a hidden camera in the bathroom of the restaurant and recorded several of his female employees, some of whom were under the age of 18 at the time. Strebler fled to Arizona and was eventually arrested by National Park Service Rangers at the Grand Canyon.
