In a recent case a Hooters resturant manager asked 15 potential applicants to go try on hooters outfits. He sent them to a trailer where they undressed and put on the outfits. It was later discovered that the changing was being video taped by the manager and police seized 150 digital photos. Hooters denies any role and claims that the manager acted on his own. Can the women succeed in a lawsuit against the Hooters company? If So what can they claim?

There should be a case as the manager was working on behalf of the Hooters namesake.
I may need to see the photos

Not unless she can prove that Hooters knew about the former managers behavior or inclinations. That would mean prior complaints. From what I gather there were none and he was acting entirely on his own.
Question for you. If one of your employees sets up some sort of hidden video camera in the woman's restroom in your place of business and gets busted should you be liable?

This all comes down to civil. It could and or can go either way. But I would lean towards YES, Hooters will be held responsible just as this excuse of a manager will be.

She can try, but any right minded person should know that Hooters doesn't condone this sort of behavior.

If they can get the manager to say that this was part of his job description, they can sue Hooters.
Why wouldn't they condone it? It fits right in with their philosophy that women are put on this Earth to excite you and serve you.
