Next time you pop into Starbucks for your daily dose of overpriced, over sugared caffeine, you may want to think twice before using the bathroom. One five-year-old girl recently uncovered a hidden video camera in the restroom of the coffee chain’s Washington branch, and her father is now suing Starbucks.

William Yockey of Virginia said he instantly reported the “humiliating and disgusting matter” to the cafe’s manager (who was completely unaware of the camera), but is taking his outrage further than a simple cross word.

Yockey says his daughter found the camera concealed inside the U-shaped drain beneath the bathroom sink. While washing her hands, the girl spied the camera, pointed directly at the toilet. The bathroom was cordoned off as police checked for fingerprints and confiscated the camera as evidence.

‘It’s embarrassing, humiliating, even today,’ an outraged Mr Yockey told ABC News. He added that video footage of his child, “could have been all over the internet… she could have been violated.”

Yockey was sightseeing with his family in Washington in April when their daughter asked to use the restroom. They chose to enter the Starbucks in Penn Quarter, not all that far from the White House and the National Mall.

For what it’s worth, Starbucks spokesman Alan Hilowitz had this to say:

“We, as a company, take our obligation to provide a safe environment very seriously. When we were alerted, we called the police.”

Maybe hold it in for future Starbucks visits, folks.

Starbucks Sued Over Hidden Bathroom Camera is a post from: The Inquisitr

The UK Telegraph is reporting that the King of Bahrain’s son, Sheikh Abdulla Bin Hamad Bin Isa Al-Khalifa is suing Michael Jackson, aka Wacko Jacko for millions of dollars in a London court.

The Sheikh, wasn’t  a former “sleep over” pal at Jacko’s Neverland Ranch, rather he met the “king of pop” when Jackson spent time lying low in Bahrain after he was found not guilty of child abuse in 2005.

During his time in Bahrain, the Sheikh allegedly built Jackson a recording studio, paid him a $6.7m advance for two albums, a show and an autobiography, and gave him a $268,000 Rolls Royce.

The Sheikh says Jackson kept the money but did not make the albums, stage show or autobiography as promised.  Apparently the Sheikh loaned him the money as an advance, to help with the financial issues, it wasn’t as if he actually wanted to hear the music.

In his defense, Jackson claims the payments he received were “gifts”.  He would know all about those.

The issue is listed for trial before the High Court and security staff are making preparations should Jackson appear. All children have been banned from the courts, and additional supplies of blankets and burkhas have been shipped in.
