Olivia Henderson pleaded not guilty after prosecutors said she recorded and posted a private image from an October delivery.
OSWEGO, N.Y. — A former DoorDash driver accused of recording a partially naked customer inside his Oswego home during an October food delivery has been indicted and pleaded not guilty in Oswego County Court.
Olivia Henderson, 23, is charged with second-degree unlawful surveillance and first-degree dissemination of an unlawful surveillance image. The case moved from a viral social media dispute to a felony prosecution after police said the customer was unconscious and incapacitated on a couch when Henderson recorded him. The video was later posted online and drew wide public attention before it was removed.
Henderson appeared May 1 before Oswego County Judge Armen Nazarian after a grand jury voted to advance the case. She pleaded not guilty to both counts, and local court coverage reported that prosecutors and the defense are discussing a possible plea deal. Henderson remains free without bail while the case continues. Her next court appearance is scheduled for June 5, when the case could move toward a plea, more motions or continued pretrial proceedings.
The case began with a DoorDash delivery on Oct. 12, 2025, at a man’s residence in Oswego. Police said Henderson allegedly recorded the man while he was partially naked inside the home, then posted the video on social media. In the video, Henderson said the customer had asked for the order to be left at the front door. She also said the door was open and that the man was “indecently exposed to me.” Investigators later said the man was unconscious because of alcohol consumption and did not interact with her during the delivery.
Police said Henderson made a report claiming she had been sexually assaulted by the customer. Investigators said they found no evidence that a sexual assault occurred, and they said the man cooperated with officers. The customer has not been publicly identified in court coverage. Authorities have not said he faces any criminal charge tied to the delivery. The central issue now before the court is whether Henderson unlawfully recorded the man inside his home and whether posting the video created a separate criminal offense.
Oswego City Police Capt. Bryan Thompson said in November that social media posts can be hard to undo once they spread. “There’s no taking it back typically,” Thompson said. Police said Henderson was processed after her arrest and released with an appearance ticket at an earlier stage of the case. Her December appearance in Oswego City Court drew attention after courtroom video circulated online. At the May 1 county court appearance, Nazarian did not allow cameras in the courtroom.
DoorDash said after the video spread that Henderson’s Dasher account had been deactivated, along with the customer’s account, while the company investigated. The company said posting a video of a customer in a home and disclosing personal details was a “clear violation” of its policies. DoorDash also said an account would not be shut down for reporting sexual assault. The company’s statement tied the deactivation to the public posting of the video, not to Henderson’s claim that she had been harmed.
New York law defines second-degree unlawful surveillance as recording or viewing intimate parts of a person without knowledge or consent at a place and time when the person has a reasonable expectation of privacy, under listed circumstances. First-degree dissemination of an unlawful surveillance image applies to publishing or distributing certain unlawfully obtained images. Both charges have been described in court coverage as class E felonies. The charges are accusations, and Henderson is presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
The case has drawn attention because it sits at the intersection of food delivery work, home privacy and online posting. The delivery itself lasted only a short time, according to the police timeline, but the video created a months-long criminal case after it spread across social media. Henderson has declined to comment when reporters approached her outside court, according to local coverage. No final plea agreement has been announced.
Prosecutors have not publicly detailed all evidence presented to the grand jury. Police have said the investigation included the video, Henderson’s report and the customer’s cooperation with officers. Court coverage has said the alleged victim was inside his home when the recording was made. What remains unknown is whether the case will be resolved by plea, dismissed through motions or scheduled for trial after further proceedings.
The next scheduled milestone is Henderson’s June 5 court appearance in Oswego County Court. Until then, the indictment remains active, both felony counts remain pending and the court record shows no announced final resolution.
