A 51-year-old San Jose man wanted for five years for failing to register as a sex offender was finally arrested Tuesday in Sacramento, according to authorities. In November, the Santa Clara County Sheriff's Office shared information about the man as part of its Wanted Wednesday campaign, which in turn generated an anonymous tip with crucial details about his whereabouts, the sheriff's office said in a news release.
Sanjai Syamaprasad pleaded guilty in July after he was accused of illegally taping children and adults while working as a sleep technician at the Northwell Health Sleep Disorders Center in Great Neck. The 47-year-old defendant allegedly affixed hidden cameras disguised as smoke detectors inside staff and multiple patient bathrooms between July 2023 and April 2024. Syamaprasad was later caught watching those videos on a work computer and was fired from his job.
