A New Hampshire man is facing prison time after admitting he spent months secretly filming female colleagues inside a local post office. Nicholas Testagrossa, 43, a former postal employee, stood before a federal judge in Worcester on Friday to plead guilty to charges of video voyeurism and obstruction of justice.
The case has rattled the small town of Westminster, Massachusetts, where Testagrossa worked as a postal employee until his arrest late last year.
The breach of privacy came to light in March 2025 when a co-worker noticed something odd tucked beneath a vent in the women’s restroom. Upon closer inspection, it was revealed to be a hidden camera. Investigators later found that the device wasn’t just a one-time occurrence; Testagrossa had been planting the camera throughout February and March.

The footage recovered was damning, showing two victims undressed. Perhaps most clumsily, the camera also captured Testagrossa’s own face as he carefully positioned the lens and tested the equipment both at work and in the privacy of his own home.
Things went from bad to worse for Testagrossa once the Postmaster discovered the device. In a desperate attempt to cover his tracks, he snatched the camera from the Postmaster’s desk and tried to destroy it, mangling the USB ports and memory card slot.
However, his efforts to bury the evidence failed because the memory card—containing all the footage of his crimes and his own face—had already been removed and safely locked away by officials.

Now, the legal weight of those choices is settling in. While the voyeurism charges carry a maximum of one year in prison, the federal charge of obstructing an official proceeding is far heavier, carrying a potential 20-year sentence.
U.S. District Court Judge Margaret R. Guzman has scheduled his sentencing for May 12, 2026.
