Actor in CTV sitcom charged with voyeurism after hidden cameras found in condo

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 28 Jan, 2015 10:20 AM

TORONTO — The CTV network says it was "shocked" to learn of the arrest of an actor who appeared on the network sitcom "Spun Out"

Toronto police said Jean Paul Manoux, 45, of Los Angeles was charged Tuesday with voyeurism after two women discovered hidden cameras in a condo they were renting.

Police said they responded to a call last Thursday and spoke to two women, aged 25 and 27, who found concealed cameras and video equipment linked to the Internet.

"Spun Out" is filmed in Toronto and police said they believe there may be more alleged victims, as Manoux's condominium has been rented out in the past.

In a statement posted on its website, CTV said it will work with "Spun Out" producers Project 10 Productions to assist police "in any way possible in their investigation."

CTV also said all future broadcast plans for "Spun Out," including this Sunday’s post Super Bowl sneak peek, have been indefinitely suspended.

Manoux is scheduled to appear in Toronto court on March 11.

His other work includes roles on such shows as "Community," "Suburgatory," "Big Time Rush" and the film "Scary Movie 5."
