It’s just another day, getting home and trying to relax when you go to take a shower. You look up to see something off… a secret camera filming you as you stand frozen in horror.

This was the experience of TikTok user @newmommyof3, who broke the story. She explains everything in vivid detail, an experience we only dream of in our nightmares.

Chasity Brintle, aka @newmommyof3, decides to mark a multi-part series on the matter, explaining what happens next. Brintle had been taking a shower in her 16-year-old daughter’s bathroom. When the shower light didn’t come on, she assumed it needed a bulb. Doing as most people would, going to replace the bulb, she realizes a camera staring back at her.

She put two and two together and recalled that her construction worker husband, Horacio Minero-Hernandez, then 39, had recently remodeled the bathroom. She assumed he must have planted the camera there during his project and used it to spy on Brintle’s 16-year-old daughter showering.

Brintle Confronts Her Husband

During a phone conversation. Brintle confronted her husband about the camera, and he reluctantly admitted to installing it. Little did Brintle’s husband know she had let the police listen in to their conversation. Although he fessed up about the camera installation, he did not state why he installed it. He only said it was a mistake.

“When you have something wrong in your (expletive) head, you just do it without thinking,”

Minero-Hernandez said during the conversation.

He also claims he never watched anyone in the shower because the camera didn’t work.

Brintle then left her home with her children, a 12-year-old and 16-year-old from a former marriage, and a 2-year-old son she had with her husband. With little money and nowhere to go, she set up a GoFundMe asking for financial assistance.

Charges

Her husband was charged with two counts of attempted sexual exploitation of a minor. At the time of his 2021 arrest, he was held with a $20,000 bail. However, he was ineligible for release due to a hold from Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Minero-Hernandez has been in custody at the Davidson County Sheriff’s Office since 2021 under an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detainer. A court hearing is scheduled for March 8th, 2024, where the final verdict of his case will be determined.

The Mother’s Reaction

Brintle was shocked by her husband’s actions. However, she thought the justice system best handled the punishment. She devoted herself to protecting her daughter. “She grew up with him since she was two years old, and this is just something that’s not normal; it’s not normal at all,” she said.

She also considered the fact that her husband could have lied to her about why he captured the footage and speculated that it may be circulating online. “I pray to God in heaven that that’s not the case; I do. I never expected this from him,” she said.

She has also said her daughter is “doing pretty well” and that the family will seek professional help. “As long as she’s got me, she’ll be good, and, of course, we’ll be reaching out for counseling.“
