San Luis Obispo Police are looking for a peeping Tom suspected of leering in at the same woman on more than one occasion.
According to Sgt. Chad Pfarr, at about 4 a.m. March 2, officers got the prowler report from a woman in the 400 block of Kentucky St. “The female victim told officers she woke to sounds outside her bedroom window,” Sgt. Pfarr said in a news release. “When she looked out she saw an unknown male suspect was holding a cell phone and watching a pornographic video while shining a light into her bedroom.”
The creeper ran off when the victim called police. She couldn’t say which direction he ran. The same man had apparently done this before.
“The same victim told officers this was the second time this occurred at the same location with the same activity taking place,” Sgt. Pfarr said. “The earlier incident took place on Feb. 5 at approximately 10:15 p.m. This incident was not reported to the Police Department until this morning.”
The incidents have a ring of familiarity. “These two incidents are similar to another prowling incident that occurred on Jan. 22 at approximately 3:45 a.m. in the 1300 block of Foothill. In that incident the female victim reported similar circumstances,” said Sgt. Pfarr.
In all three incidents, he said, the suspect pointed a flashlight into the window and the victims “were only able to see the suspects profile and could not provide additional descriptions. Investigators believe all three incidents are related and we are actively looking for leads in these cases.”
