MONTGOMERY COUNTY, Texas – A nurse at Memorial Hermann Hospital in The Woodlands has filed a lawsuit against the hospital’s former patient care director, who was arrested last month after being accused of placing hidden cameras in restrooms at the hospital.
The lawsuit alleges Robert Shrader, 41, secretly placed hidden cameras in hospital restrooms to record the nurse, fellow employees and patients.

“This was an outrageous breach of trust and a traumatic violation of my client’s privacy,” said sexual assault attorney Anna Greenberg, who represents the victim. “My client is coming forward not only to seek justice, but also to give a voice to all the victims whose dignity was taken from them.”
According to the lawsuit, the hospital’s construction team was conducting routine maintenance in August 2025 when it discovered a hidden camera installed in a single-stall bathroom on the second floor. The hospital notified staff of the discovery and confirmed in an internal email that it was placed there by an employee, later identified as Shrader.
Shrader managed the medical surgical unit nurses, including the victim, identified by her initials as A.D. in the lawsuit. The lawsuit also details how A.D. regularly used the second-floor restroom where the first camera was discovered.
Authorities say more than 300 images and videos of at least seven victims were identified from the multiple hidden cameras. Officials say the SD card content revealed footage of Shrader installing the device, as well as recordings of staff and patients in various stages of undress.
Shrader was arrested and charged with seven counts of felony invasive visual recording. He later posted bond and was released.
