A teen girl found a hidden camera in the bathroom of her family’s rented home.
The 16-year-old girl was living in the property with her parents, an aunt, and her eight-year-old brother.
The landlord has since been arrested accused of filming minors using a camera hidden in a plug socket in the bathroom.

The camera was found after the teen victim caught the landlord in the bathroom when she came home from school early.
Suspicious of his actions, the girl looked around the bathroom and allegedly found the concealed camera in the property in Anápolis near the Brazilian capital Brasília.
The police were called to the scene and officers confirmed that the camera was transmitting images from the bathroom in real time as well as being stored on a hard disc.
The landlord, identified as Francismar Fernandes da Silva, 36, was arrested by the police on 19 April.
Investigators carried out a raid on his home and seized several electronic devices as evidence.
The girl’s father said his children are still traumatised by the incident.
He told local media: “He filmed all the women in the house taking a shower and even an eight-year-old child who was also left in shock.”
The police said the camera was running for around two weeks, as reported by Need to Know.
Da Silva, who owns a solar energy company, has access to several homes in the area and it is possible there may be more victims.
As a result, the police released images of the suspect to encourage other possible victims to come forwards.
The investigation continues.
