A former U.S. Postal Service employee from New Hampshire has pleaded guilty to federal charges of obstruction and video voyeurism in connection with incidents at the Westminster, Massachusetts Post Office.
Nicholas Testagrossa, 43, of Rindge, New Hampshire, entered his plea in federal court in Worcester. He admitted to one count of obstruction and attempted obstruction of an official proceeding, as well as two counts of video voyeurism. Sentencing is set for May 12, 2026 before U.S. District Court Judge Margaret R. Guzman.
According to court documents, in March 2025 while employed at the Westminster Post Office, Testagrossa placed a hidden camera inside the women’s restroom to record female colleagues without their knowledge or consent. The device was discovered on March 28, 2025 by another postal worker who found it concealed beneath a vent. Investigators determined that the camera had been used on multiple occasions during February and March 2025 and had captured images of two victims while they were undressed.
Authorities recovered video evidence showing Testagrossa installing and testing the camera both at the post office and at his home. The footage showed his face and documented repeated attempts to hide and operate the device.
After the discovery of the camera, Testagrossa removed it from where it had been secured by the Postmaster without authorization. He then tried to destroy evidence by damaging its memory card and USB ports; however, investigators had already preserved the memory card.
United States Attorney Leah B. Foley stated: "United States Attorney Leah B. Foley and Matthew Modafferi, Special Agent in Charge of the United States Postal Service, Office of the Inspector General, Northeast Area Field Office made the announcement today." Assistant U.S. Attorney Danial E. Bennett is prosecuting the case.
Testagrossa faces up to 20 years in prison for obstruction charges and up to one year for each count of video voyeurism if convicted at sentencing. Fines could reach $250,000 for obstruction and $100,000 for each video voyeurism charge. Sentences will be determined based on federal guidelines.
