One of the high-profile trials of recent years has ended in the United States.
A Manhattan jury has awarded $2.78 million (approximately 256 million rubles) to a nanny who was the victim of secret video surveillance.
A fast-food magnate and Staten Island father installed a hidden camera in his children's nanny's bedroom, the New York Post reports.
As a result, he recorded hundreds of nude videos of her.
When the young woman discovered the camera, the man tried to break down her door.
In 2021, the man was arrested on charges of illegal surveillance.
However, the district attorney and judge allowed him to avoid jail time on the condition of counseling and two years of probation.
A Manhattan jury found the mogul guilty and awarded the nanny $2.78 million in damages.
The woman considered the punishment for her former employer to be lenient given the entire situation she had found herself in over the past three years.
