Former postal worker pleads guilty to secretly filming co-workers in Westminster post office restroom

BOSTON — A New Hampshire man man pleaded guilty in federal court in Worcester on Friday, Feb. 6, 2026, to obstruction and video voyeurism charges for secretly recording female co-workers in a restroom at a Westminster, Massachusetts post office and attempting to destroy evidence.

Nicholas Testagrossa, 43, of Rindge, N.H., pleaded guilty to one count of obstruction and attempted obstruction of an official proceeding and two counts of video voyeurism. U.S. District Court Judge Margaret Guzman scheduled sentencing for May 12, 2026. Testagrossa was originally charged in December 2025.

According to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts, Testagrossa was employed as a U.S. Postal Service worker in Westminster in March 2025 when he secretly placed a hidden camera inside the women’s restroom at the Westminster Post Office in an attempt to record his female co-workers while they were undressed and using the bathroom.

The camera was discovered on March 28, 2025, after a postal employee noticed it concealed beneath a vent. Investigators later determined the camera had been placed in the women’s restroom on multiple occasions and had recorded video on several dates in February 2025 and March 2025, including footage of two victims undressed without their knowledge or consent.

Prosecutors said investigators recovered video files showing Testagrossa installing the hidden camera, positioning it for a recording vantage point, and testing the device both inside the post office and at his home. The recordings reportedly showed his face and documented repeated efforts to conceal and operate the camera.

“The evidence confirmed that the recordings were intentional and part of a pattern of conduct targeting female co-workers,” the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts said in a statement.

Prosecutors said that after the camera was discovered and secured by the postmaster, Testagrossa removed it from the postmaster’s desk without authorization and attempted to destroy the evidence by damaging the camera’s memory card and USB ports. His efforts were unsuccessful because the memory card had already been removed and preserved as evidence, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Massachusetts said.

The obstruction charge carries a potential sentence of up to 20 years in prison, while each video voyeurism charge carries a potential sentence of up to one year in prison.

The case was announced by United States Attorney for the District of Massachusetts Leah B. Foley and Matthew Modafferi, Special Agent in Charge of the U.S. Postal Service Office of Inspector General’s Northeast Area Field Office. Assistant U.S. Attorney Danial E. Bennett of the Worcester Branch Office is prosecuting the case.
