March 17 so the judge could make a final ruling as to the release order.

According to Prosecutor Granados, Judge Hill approved his request for pretrial supervised release based on the defendant’s lack of criminal history, age (he turned 23 Wednesday) and no new law violations being picked up in the last year.

Pretrial supervised release means that Mr. Asinobi will be released with supervision by probation to include certain terms and conditions. Probation has a pretrial unit that is assigned to be responsible for supervising the defendant, the prosecutor said.

“The terms and conditions of his release are: no contact with all victims, stay away from Isla Vista, GPS monitoring, reside with his parents, a curfew of not being able to leave his home before 7 a.m. and being home by 10 p.m., no electronics/recording devices except for accessing his father’s computer for the purposes of school and medical reasons, and a cellphone with the condition of only using it to call his parents and for medical purposes.”

No trial date has been set. The defendant will return to court on Wednesday.

Mr. Asinobi has been charged with unlawful electronic peeping between Oct. 1, 2021 and Feb. 15, 2022.

The complaint filed against him alleges that he “willfully and unlawfully used a concealed camcorder, motion picture camera or photographic camera to secretly videotape, film, photograph or record by electronic means another identifiable person, or through the clothing worn by that other

When she was 7 years old, her family moved to Mexico. After high school in Mexico, she returned to the U.S. in 1942 and moved to Indio, Calif. Ms. Cue and her husband, Alfredo, found Indio to be too hot, so they moved during the mid-1940s to Santa Barbara, where she worked in a lemon packing plant.

A few years later, she joined Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital in the linen processing department. At the time, the hospital administrator, Rodney Lamb, wanted to be oriented in every SBCH department, and when he arrived in linen processing to learn, it was Ms. Cue who trained him. Folding sheets was a two-person job and the technique resembled dance moves, so Ms Cue and Mr. Lamb would “dance” together as they folded sheets. This memory still makes her smile.

In the early 1990s, Ms. Cue was trained in the sterile processing department to wrap linen and basins for sterilization, and her responsibilities changed.

“This was a good move for me, and I’ve always liked what I do,” she said.

In 2011, she transferred permanently to the sterile processing department.

Ms. Cue is the proud mother of three, grandmother of four, great grandmother of eight and great-great grandmother of one. All four generations were born at Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital. email: kzehnder@newspress.com

A case involving electronic peeping was initially reported in 2022, and as a result, the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office conducted an almost yearlong investigation into the allegations. As a result of that investigation, the District Attorney’s Office charged Mr. Asinobi, alleging he placed hidden cameras in places where persons had a reasonable expectation of privacy.

“What I can tell you at this point is that there are multiple victims and there were multiple devices hidden in private homes,” Prosecutor Granados said. “We are not permitted to release information about victims so I cannot answer any questions regarding their information.” email: nhartsteinnewspress@ gmail.com

A search warrant signed on Feb. 23, 2022 permitted the search of devices belonging to Mr. Asinobi in which the alleged recordings were located, the complaint said. After viewing the secret recordings, law enforcement officers were able to identify 12 of the people depicted in the recordings, and although an additional 14 were visible, they have not been identified yet, prosecutors said.

In a move to protect the confidentiality of those alleged victims who were identified, counts 1 through 12 in the complaint lists them only by their initials. In counts 13 through 26 pertaining to alleged victims who remain unidentified, all but four are listed as Jane Doe. The final four are listed as John Doe.

Prosecutors say if he is convicted, Mr. Asinobi could get up to six months in County Jail for each count.
