You think your vacation rental is private, but this host was secretly watching his guests' every move.

Christian Parmalee Edwards, a short-term rental host in Oakhurst, California, has been arrested after authorities uncovered a massive collection of illegal recordings. Instead of using hidden cameras, investigators say he was physically lurking outside the home, filming unsuspecting families and children through the cracks in the window blinds.

Authorities say he began renting the property out in 2023 and are urging any previous guests to contact the Madera County Sheriff's Office immediately.
