(CBS/AP) MIAMI BEACH, Fla. - Florida police arrested Georgia man Ronald Rolfes after he allegedly videotaped contestants in the Hooters International Swimsuit Pageant while they changed clothes in a hotel dressing room.

Police said Rolfes told them he made the video because he's never had a girlfriend.

This probably won't help.

According to an arrest report, one of the contestants notified an officer after finding a hidden camera in the dressing room. The video showed Rolfes setting up the camera and later a model undressing, The Miami Herald reported.

Rolfes was allegedly traveling with the company Waterbabies Bikini and was supposed to stand at the dressing room door to prevent products from being stolen. The company said Rolfes set up the video without their knowledge.

Rolfes was charged Sunday with video voyeurism.
