GRETNA - A former employee at a Metairie restaurant who secretly video-recorded women while they used the toilet and amassed a collection of pornographic images of juveniles on his home computer has been sentenced to 10 years in prison.

The Times-Picayune reports 27-year-old Abel David Saravia pleaded guilty Thursday to one count of video voyeurism in connection with the cameras he hid under the sink at Izzo's Illegal Burrito.

He also pleaded guilty to 53 counts of possession of pornography involving juveniles. He downloaded images from the Internet.

Authorities say it is unclear how many diners were recorded using the restroom, but his plea involved one woman.
