Neuqua grad accused of recording swimmers in locker room

A Neuqua Valley High School graduate on the men's swim team at the University of Illinois at Chicago has been charged with taking video of female swimmers undressing in their locker room, authorities said.

Before practice on Feb. 2, a pair of swimmers on the UIC women's team heard laughter from the beyond the wall their locker room shares with the men's team, Assistant Cook County State's Attorney Joseph Carlson said Friday at a bond hearing.

One of the women looked up at a gap between the locker room ceiling and the wall "expecting the men to throw something over the wall," Carlson said.

Instead, she spotted freshman swimmer Joseph Dalesandro's iPhone, which had been pointed at the women's locker room, Carlson said.
