> Video from a hidden camera showed people going to the bathroom and the videos were posted on a pornographic web site.
> 
> Our investigation started on the East Coast, where a man said he clicked on a banner that took him to the offensive porn web site. He noticed many victims wearing company shirts. That’s how we found victim Rob Cheney who told us, “When I saw myself pooping, I was just like you’ve gotta be kidding me.”
> 
> We asked Cheney for a list of places where he used the bathroom. He explained, “I had to think because you don’t document everywhere you go to the bathroom, so it took me awhile to pinpoint where it was.”
> 
> Fox 2 checked his list of rest rooms, comparing the online video to each bathroom. Then we found a perfect match, from the floor tiles to the drain by the toilet.
> 
> A key break involved a web posting of a St. Charles County man visiting the house of the possible suspect. The St. Charles County man went to the house for anonymous sex.
> 
> According to police, the suspect later admitted luring about 50 men to his Wentzville home, offering oral sex through what he called a gloryhole. He reportedly lured the men through a Craigslist ad, then secretly videotaped them entering his home and using his gloryhole.
> 
> The raid followed our lead involving the Craigslist add. And it netted the arrest of Chesterfield’s own officer, 33-year-old David Cerna.

I love the phrasing “he lured them”. In my experience, men don’t have to be lured into getting a blowjob.

He didn’t lure them into getting a blowjob. He lured them into a situation where he could record them receiving a blowjob, with the blowjob as the lure. Offering something desirable is a requirement when luring.

First time I’ve heard of someone with glory hole in their _home_. I wonder how that effects property values?

Meh, I like my amusement more than silly things like facts.

That’s the first time I’ve ever heard the videotaping of bowel-movements be referred to as “porn”. Hot stuff. Um, literally.

Depends if you pull a permit and do it right and just bash the wall in with a hammer and clean up the edges with duct tape.

Next question…where’d he put the Glory Hole? Most, um, glory hole users, aren’t going through 4.5 inch thick walls (and still leaving enough hanging out the other end to get serviced). I’m guessing he set up a partition with just a [single sheet of drywall with a hole in it](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2vXbmlOPPoQ).

There’s one near here, and he has a plywood partition that fits into the doorway separating the front hall from the living room. That way, he can remove it when not in use.

I wonder if the poop cam had audio.

Many 17th C. Anglo-Catholic homes that installed priest holes discovered they had glory holes into the bargain.

Why do you know so much about glory holes?

Probably watching Family Guy.

“One trick I used to use is turning things into a word problem. For example, if there are three glory holes in the bathroom at the club and 28 guys at the circuit party, how many rotations of guys will it take before everybody’s had a turn? Nine, with a remainder of Brent…Brent can’t fit in the glory hole, and that’s why we all like Brent.”

You’ve never been to Craigslist personals haven’t you? I’m sure they use it as something else when not in the mood.

Here’s something I’ll never understand about glory holes, am I the only guy in the world who would be scared that some lunatic on the other end was going to slash my dick with an exacto knife, or something?
