Key Points:
- Pokémon Co. International Inc. is facing a class-action lawsuit after former engineering director Ben Tsai allegedly attempted to secretly record women and children undressing in the bathroom at the company's Bellevue, Washington office.
- Tsai was arrested last month and charged with multiple offenses, including first-degree dealing and possession of depictions of minors engaged in sexually explicit conduct, as well as voyeurism.
- Authorities discovered hundreds of videos taken from the Pokémon office bathroom, a local Starbucks restroom, and Tsai's home bathroom.
- The lawsuit, filed by a former employee identified as Jane Doe, claims Pokémon failed to supervise Tsai adequately or respond to warning signs of his behavior and seeks to represent individuals who used the company bathroom between 2017 and July 25, 2026.
- Tsai’s attorney stated that he intends to plead not guilty to all charges and emphasized his client’s presumption of innocence.
