SUMMERLIN, NV – A shocking incident has unfolded at a popular restaurant in Summerlin, where a longtime bartender now faces serious legal repercussions. Christopher Cohen, a familiar face at John Cutter Tavern, has made his first court appearance following his arrest on multiple felony charges. Authorities have uncovered deeply troubling activities involving secret recordings, leading to a cascade of legal issues for Cohen.
The investigation began when an 18-year-old woman discovered a hidden device in the women’s restroom at the tavern. The device, cleverly disguised as a USB charger, contained a micro SD card that revealed covertly filmed footage of unsuspecting women using the restroom. Detectives analyzed the footage, identifying Cohen through visual clues such as tattoos and clothing.
Further examination of the micro SD card unveiled even more disturbing footage, this time from a private residence. The footage included images of two young girls, later identified as Cohen’s daughters, in compromising situations. The girls, aged 13 and 8, were recorded in the bathroom of Cohen’s home. Cohen has admitted to setting up hidden cameras at his residence but denied placing any at his workplace.
Cohen was apprehended on May 15 during a traffic stop near his home, where officers discovered nearly three grams of cocaine in his possession, adding a drug charge to his list of alleged offenses. In court, Cohen faced multiple felony charges, including the production of child abuse materials, unlawful surveillance, and drug possession.
The restaurant’s owner has expressed shock and assured full cooperation with law enforcement, emphasizing that Cohen had passed all required background checks and that no other employees are under investigation. Cohen’s bail has been set at $75,000, and he is prohibited from contacting minors, including his own children.
This case has sent ripples through the community, raising concerns about privacy and safety in public spaces. As the investigation continues, many are left grappling with the unsettling reality of Cohen’s alleged actions.
