Recent revelations from Nassau County have uncovered a deeply disturbing pattern of unlawful surveillance at a Long Island sleep center, where an employee secretly recorded patients and staff — including children — in the facility’s bathrooms.

This egregious invasion of privacy has led to a growing number of victims coming forward, seeking justice through civil lawsuits. Victims may be entitled to compensation for the emotional distress, psychological trauma, and loss of dignity they suffered as a result of this shocking abuse.

Understanding the Spy Camera Scandal at Northwell Sleep Disorders Center
Sanjai Syamaprasad, a sleep therapist employed at Northwell Sleep Disorders Center in Great Neck, allegedly installed a hidden camera disguised as a smoke detector in nine different bathrooms across the facility. He is accused of filming co-workers, adult patients, and even pediatric patients, capturing thousands of private moments without consent.

Officials say the surveillance dates back to at least 2022, and the full number of victims may be in the hundreds. The accused was reportedly seen watching footage at work, prompting an internal report that led to his firing and subsequent criminal charges.

Authorities are currently analyzing thousands of images and videos recovered from the suspect's devices. In addition to the Long Island location, he is also under investigation for similar acts at a Weill Cornell sleep center in Manhattan.

Negligence and Institutional Responsibility
Northwell Health has acknowledged the abuse and claims to have taken immediate action upon discovery. However, many victims and employees have joined a class action lawsuit, alleging the institution failed to prevent or detect the hidden surveillance devices in a timely manner.

Legal experts argue that Northwell had a duty of care to ensure the safety and privacy of both patients and staff — and that failure may constitute gross negligence.
