A 44-year-old Takoma Park man, identified by police as Tshikundi Taty, was arrested after investigators say he slipped into women’s locker rooms at multiple gyms while disguised as a woman and secretly recorded women showering. Law enforcement allege surveillance and witness accounts tie him to at least four recorded incidents across Montgomery and Prince George’s counties, and detectives are warning there may be additional victims. This is the kind of brazen invasion of privacy that should terrify every mom, daughter, and hardworking American who expects safety in female-only spaces.
Court documents reveal chilling details: Taty allegedly used wigs, face masks, and clothing to hide his identity, sometimes crawling under shower curtains and even attempting to flee when discovered. Officers followed him to another fitness center where they found him again inside a women’s locker room, and gyms’ own footage and check-in logs helped build the case against him. These are not isolated pranks or misunderstandings — they are deliberate, predatory acts that deserve the full weight of the law.
Prosecutors convinced a judge that Taty poses a public safety risk, and he was ordered held without bond as charges including video surveillance with prurient intent and multiple peeping tom counts move forward. If the courts and police are taking this seriously now, it’s because the evidence and the victims’ trauma are undeniable. Americans should demand accountability and swift justice for predators who exploit loopholes and cultural confusion to terrorize women.
The paper trail here shows a pattern of failure by facility operators to keep women safe: gyms had previously filed trespassing complaints and even barred him, yet he slipped back in repeatedly. This points to a systemic problem — lax enforcement, sloppy member screening, and policies that put ideology or liability fears ahead of protecting women and children. Private companies and local officials alike must stop treating these incidents as mere controversies and start treating them the way they are: serious threats to public safety.
Conservative commonsense is simple: women deserve spaces where they can shower, change, and feel secure without fear of being filmed or watched. That means clear policies that recognize biological realities, better staff training, stricter enforcement of trespass and surveillance laws, and harsher penalties for anyone who weaponizes gender-confusion to invade private spaces. Lawmakers who pretend this is merely a debate about feelings are failing in their most basic duty to protect constituents.
This Maryland case is sadly part of a broader pattern we’ve seen across the country, where businesses and local authorities have been slow to act while women and girls are left to bear the consequences. Outrage over incidents like the Wi Spa scandal and similar episodes should translate into policy changes, not excuses from activists and sometimes timid management teams. The safety of American women should not be negotiable because someone wants to score woke points.
Americans who value decency and common-sense protections must push back: demand that gyms and schools implement sex-separated facilities enforced by clear rules, insist prosecutors pursue these cases aggressively, and hold media accountable when they minimize victims’ trauma. This is about defending our families and commonsense norms against those who would exploit confusion and guilt to prey on the vulnerable. If we stand quiet while our daughters are put at risk, we lose everything that makes this country worth defending.
