Ex-Pokémon Exec Is Accused of Hiding Cameras in Bellevue Office Bathrooms
The suit seeks class-action status for women and girls who used Bellevue office bathrooms from 2017 through July 25, 2026, attorneys said.
- An anonymous former employee, Jane Doe, filed a class-action lawsuit against The Pokemon Company International last week, alleging it failed to protect workers and visitors at its Bellevue, Washington office from former director of engineering Ben Tsai.
- Authorities arrested Tsai in July 2026 after discovering hundreds of videos on his devices, including secret recordings from the company's Bellevue office and a local Starbucks bathroom.
- Evidence cited in the suit includes 89 videos allegedly filmed in office bathrooms, prompting claims the company failed to make "reasonable efforts" to control Tsai and protect employees.
- Held on $500,000 bail, Tsai plans to plead not guilty to charges including voyeurism and child abuse material. A company spokesperson stated, "Our focus remains on the well-being of our employees," while declining further comment.
- The lawsuit also invokes Washington's anti-discrimination laws, claiming women and children constitute a protected class. This litigation adds to recent legal challenges Pokemon faces, including a patent dispute with Palworld.
