Long Island Sleep Tech Gets Six Months in Jail for Secret Bathroom Recordings

Victim statements prompted the judge to add incarceration to a case prosecutors argued warranted prison.

Overview

  • Sanjai Syamaprasad was sentenced Thursday to six months in jail, followed by probation, and must register as a sex offender.
  • Prosecutors said he hid cameras disguised as smoke detectors in bathrooms and changing areas at Northwell Health’s Sleep Disorders Center in Great Neck.
  • Investigators recovered more than 300 video clips, and victims included patients and co-workers, with some recordings involving children.
  • Judge Meryl Berkowitz opted for jail after hearing from victims, as Nassau County DA Anne Donnelly had urged a sentence of up to three years.
  • Syamaprasad pleaded guilty on July 15, 2025 to five counts of second-degree unlawful surveillance and two counts of evidence tampering after his April 2024 arrest, when he was caught viewing footage and admitted destroying a device and an SD card.
