Joliet, Illinois – A Joliet man faces six felony charges for allegedly recording a woman inside her home.
According to the Will County Sheriff’s Office, 62-year-old Frank Faybik was arrested Tuesday, February 10, 2026, after being charged Monday, February 9, 2026, with six felony counts of Unauthorized Video Recording by the Will County State’s Attorney’s Office.
Investigators said the case began about seven months ago when an adult female reported discovering what appeared to be suspicious videos on Faybik’s cellphone. The woman told detectives she believed she had been recorded in her bedroom and bathroom without her consent at a residence in Joliet.
Detectives later obtained search warrants for electronic and storage devices, which were submitted for forensic review. Authorities said investigators discovered approximately two years’ worth of videos allegedly recorded in the victim’s bedroom and bathroom using hidden cameras.
An arrest warrant was issued February 9, 2026, and Faybik was taken into custody February 10 without incident at his home, according to the sheriff’s office. He was transported to the Will County Adult Detention Facility and initially held without bond pending a court hearing. Officials said he was released Wednesday, February 11, 2026.
The Will County Sheriff’s Office emphasized that the charges are allegations and that Faybik is presumed innocent unless proven guilty in a court of law.
The case may draw attention from local residents concerned about privacy protections inside private residences.
