Bourbon maker accused of secretly filming at Kentucky Castle

Key Points:

• Kentucky bourbon maker Wes Henderson, founder of Angel’s Envy and owner of The Kentucky Castle, is accused in a sealed lawsuit of secretly filming family members and others in multiple locations, including his Florida home and the Kentucky Castle.
• The lawsuit alleges invasion of privacy, voyeurism, and possession or viewing of sexual material involving minors, with hidden cameras disguised in everyday objects capturing nude and intimate footage of approximately 40 people.
• Family members discovered and confiscated around 30 hidden cameras and SD cards, which were turned over to law enforcement, though no criminal charges have been filed and authorities have not confirmed involvement.
• The complaint states Henderson placed cameras deliberately to capture private moments, including sexual acts involving himself and others, and that he installed cameras in third parties’ homes while sometimes wearing a firefighter’s shirt.
• Separately, Henderson faces multiple pending lawsuits related to debts owed by his distilling companies, including claims exceeding $1.5 million from architects, consultants, and marketing firms.
