The Guam Police Department has opened an internal affairs investigation to review how officers handled a disturbing case involving the alleged secret filming of a South Korean tourist and his 4-year-old daughter inside a hotel restroom.

The incident happened on October 6 at the Pacific Islands Club in Tumon. The father reported hearing a camera shutter while inside a stall and looked up to see a phone being held over the wall. He confronted the person next to him—identified as 20-year-old hotel employee Noah-Jay Blas—and brought him to the front desk.

Officers with the Tumon-Tamuning Precinct responded and reviewed Blas’ phone, but found no images at the time. The tourist was told a follow-up investigation would be conducted.

However, police did not locate Blas again until 10 days later, on October 16, because he was on work leave.

When questioned by detectives, blas initially denied recording anyone but later admitted to filming the stall next to him—saying he recorded several seconds of video and deleted it after realizing a child was in view.

He was charged with criminal voyeurism as a third-degree felony and released on a $3,000 personal recognizance bond.

GPD spokesperson Norman Analista said the department “takes all criminal activity against residents and visitors very seriously” and is now reviewing the response of its personnel to ensure accountability and maintain public trust.
