A Skokie podiatrist accused of secretly recording community college wrestlers in a men's locker room may have dozens of other victims, authorities say.

Ninos Jando, 34, was arraigned Wednesday in Michigan on three counts of capturing or distributing an image of an unclothed person. Court documents list three male victims in the case.

But authorities say what Jando was doing in that Michigan locker room was not an isolated event. There are reportedly dozens of videos of naked young men that were shot in dozens of lockers rooms over nearly a dozen years.

"These images could be worldwide and affect these innocent victims for the rest of their lives," said prosecutor Timothy Maat.

So far, none of the victims reviewed by authorities appear to be underage, but they said there is still a lot of material to go through.

Inside the doctor's car following his arrest Tuesday, police said they found six toiletry bags, eight cameras, three cell phones, a computer hard drive, a laptop computer and membership cards under several different names that gave him access to a variety of health clubs. Investigators said they hope a GPS unit found inside the car will provide information as to where else Jando has been.

Jando has been arrested an accused of similar crimes in the Chicago area. At a St. Charles Xsport Fitness Center in 2009, an undercover police officer thought Jando was acting suspiciously in the locker room. A search at that time by St. Charles police uncovered 21 videos spanning six years, officials said.

No one could be reached for comment at the Jando family home in Skokie Wednesday night. The doctor has a published office address at Mobile Doctors on North Elston Avenue. He also has a current Illinois license to practice podiatry.

Jando was ordered held on $200,000 bond. If he bails out, the judge has forbid him from leaving Michigan's Muskegon County.

Anyone who believes they've been a victim is asked to call Muskegon Police Detective Andrew Rush at 231-724-6752.

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- A 33-year-old Milwaukee man is accused of secretly recording people inside gym locker rooms. 

Peng Dong was charged with numerous counts of capturing an intimate representation without consent. A warrant has been issued for his arrest. 

Authorities say the victims were secretly recorded using a hidden camera inside a coffee cup at Wisconsin Athletic Club locations in Brookfield, Milwaukee, and Wauwatosa. 

According to a criminal complaint, Brookfield police were called to the WAC Brookfield location on Dec. 24, 2021, to investigate "suspicious circumstances." 

An officer made contact with Dong, and asked to see what was inside a backpack he had with him. Dong reportedly had a video recording device with him that was inside a coffee cup. 

Dong, according to the complaint, admitted he was using the camera to record anyone who was walking near his locker. However, when he was asked if it was possible he recorded anyone naked, Dong reportedly laughed and replied he was "very certain" it had recorded several people while they were naked. 

When advised there were laws that prohibit these sort of recordings, Dong reportedly replied he did not know he was breaking the law. 

Dong was placed under arrest. 

Back at the police department, Dong was asked how many videos he had. Dong told investigators he estimated they would find over 200 men he recorded in the locker rooms of the three different WAC locations. 

Investigators obtained written consent from Dong to search his vehicle and residence. Several electronic devices, USB, and SD cards were recovered. 

According to the criminal complaint, investigators examined all of the devices in question and numerous videos were found. 

Investigators believe there could be as many as 542 victims, including minors.
