Police say there is video of three women from the Somerville facility and more from another location.

"There are several other victims in a similar incident, that were video recorded in another jurisdiction," says Upton.

Police wouldn't say where else they caught him taping women, only that it's a busy place in another town used by hundreds of women.

Perez who is facing several charges is free on bail.

He admitted to being in the locker room but said it was all a misunderstanding.

The YMCA immediately kicked him out.
