Court documents reveal that Mitchell Wasek, the son of a Buc-ee’s co-founder, has been arrested on 28 state-jail felony charges of invasive visual recording. Wasek allegedly placed hidden cameras in his family’s properties and secretly recorded visitors engaging in various activities such as using toilets, showering, changing clothes, and having sex. The arrest came after a woman reported finding a hidden camera in a charging port in a bathroom of a lake house owned by Wasek’s father. The woman, along with other visitors, discovered that the micro-card of the camera contained dozens of videos of themselves and others at the house. The Dallas Police Department and Travis County Sheriff’s Office were notified, and a warrant was obtained, leading to the discovery of 68 videos dating back to 2021. The footage featured at least 13 men and women in compromising situations. Wasek, a law student at Southern Methodist University, is accused of recording not just at the lake house, but also at his Dallas apartment, a condo in Austin, and his family’s vacation home in Telluride, Colorado. It has been alleged that he was present during the recordings and that no other family members were involved. As evidence, authorities have obtained records showing Wasek’s purchases of at least six “spy cameras.” He has been released on a $280,000 bond and could face up to two years in state jail for each charge if convicted.

The son of a Buc-ee’s co-founder placed hidden cameras in properties owned by his family, secretly recording visitors “using toilets, showering, changing clothes, and/or having sex,” according to court documents. Mitchell Wasek, 28, was arrested Tuesday and faces 28 state-jail felony charges of invasive visual recording. A woman went to police in May after visiting a lake house owned by Wasek’s father, Donald Wasek, co-founder of the Texas-based Buc-ee’s gas and convenience stores. The woman, who stayed at the home with Mitchell Wasek and others, reported that a friend and cybersecurity expert had “discovered that a charging port plugged into the wall of their assigned bathroom … contained a hidden camera,” an arrest affidavit reads.
The visitors left with the camera, whose micro-card was found to hold dozens of videos of themselves and others at the house on Texas’ Lake Travis. The woman then notified the Dallas Police Department and Travis County Sheriff’s Office. “They were unaware that the recordings existed in the bedroom and bathroom, and indicated they did not consent to being recorded or photographed,” a sheriff’s deputy writes in the affidavit. Authorities obtained a warrant and discovered 68 videos dating back to 2021. They featured at least 13 men and women in various states of undress as they used the bathroom, showered, and engaged in sex.
Authorities claim Wasek, a law student at Dallas’ Southern Methodist University, didn’t just film visitors at the lake house but also at his Dallas apartment, a condo in Austin, and his family’s vacation home in Telluride, Colorado. One victim recognized footage of her and a friend changing into Halloween costumes in a bathroom at Wasek’s apartment last October. Authorities allege the 28-year-old was present at the time of each recording while no other family members were. They’ve also obtained records showing Wasek purchased at least six “spy cameras.” He was released Tuesday on a $280,000 bond—$10,000 per each charge. He faces up to two years in state jail for each count if convicted, up to a maximum of 56 years. (Read more peeping tom stories.)
