Barn-Based Tan Salon Owner Busted for Taping Clients

Written by Pat's Papers | Thursday, 28 April 2011 10:27 AM

“I just like to look at pretty girls naked.” That was the excuse offered up by a man charged with video-taping several women who frequented his “self-service tanning business,” run out of a barn behind his house. The Gainesville Sun says the man charged $2 for twenty minutes of tan time, which, perhaps, should’ve been an indication that things weren’t up to code. The barn might’ve been a clue too. According to authorities, “customers would insert their money into a slot in the wall, then lie in the bed in whatever state of undress they chose.” The suspect, 47-year-old Doyce Dean Griffis has confessed to taping his female clients from behind a two-way mirror.

The Sun talks to the man behind the plan, Doyce Dean Griffis, who says he’s not “stupid like kids these days, having to put things on the web”; Griffis is adamant that the tapes were strictly for his personal use.
