Rauf was caught after a victim noticed a black device that she thought might be a cellphone or camera pointing down from a wall of the dressing room at Forever 21, according to police.

Authorities say they are attempting to identify as many as 60 female victims who may have been secretly filmed.

Police say they've already received hundreds of calls, texts, and emails from people who may have been victims.

"What we are doing is confirming their identity, discussing with them their whereabouts on a particular day at a particular time. And through their photographs they are providing, matching up with what we have on file," Fairfax County Police Major Ed O'Carroll said. "For us to make a charge for illegal videotaping, we actually do need to identify each victim on each separate video."
