US nanny awarded $2.7 million after boss caught secretly filming her naked

New York judge awards nanny $2.7 million after her millionaire boss secretly filmed her for 3 weeks

AND New York Court awarded $2.7 million Kelly Andradea live-in nanny who was filmed for weeks by her millionaire boss using a hidden camera built into the smoke detector in her room.
Her boss Michael Esposito (35), owner of three LaRosa Grill franchises, secretly taped her naked on camera for three weeks before she realized something was wrong. Andrade emigrated from Colombia to take care Esposito and his wife Danielle’s four children.
She was reportedly hired in 2021 by placement agency Cultural Care Au Pair and lived with Danielle’s parents in Tottenville, Staten Island, while the couple’s residence underwent renovations.
Yahoo News reported that Andrade became suspicious after seeing her boss frequently adjusting the smoke detector in her room. According to the lawsuit, she regularly caught Esposito in her room fiddling with the ceiling smoke detector, which was “constantly adjusted,” the report said.
Andrade discovered the tiny camera inside the smoke detector herself three weeks after it was placed there. The memory card was filled with “hundreds of recordings,” many of which depicted her “nude and/or dressing/undressing,” the lawsuit said.
Esposito reportedly arrived at the home minutes after the camera was discovered. “He seemed very nervous and very worried when he arrived at the house,” Andrade said.
He jumped out of the window
Esposito was ‘pounding on the door’ but Andrade pretended to be asleep,” the report said, adding that fearing he might be armed, Andrade jumped out of a second-story window to escape. She injured her knees in the process and spent the rest of the night in bushes on the street.
She turned the footage over to police a day later, The New York Post reported. Esposito was arrested on March 24, 2021.
Dissatisfied with the verdict
Andrade is not satisfied with the verdict, Esposito was ordered to undergo counseling and complete two years of probation. He was also ordered to pay $780,000 in compensation for mental anguish, as well as $2 million in punitive damages — a total of $2.8 million.
His former employee thinks it was just a tap on the shoulder.
“It’s not enough for the whole situation I went through these three years. It’s not enough,” Andrade told The Post. “I was angry because the damage he did to me is irreversible.
