PEEPING TOM

Serial Shower Creep Stalking Women in University of Minnesota Dorms

Authorities have received three reports in two weeks of a man walking into the women’s showers and trying to film naked students.

University of Minnesota police are on the hunt for a campus pervert who has attempted to film female students as they showered on at least three occasions. Reports of the Peeping Tom—two filed a fortnight ago and one last week—have students shaken, with some choosing to coordinate shower times. The university’s police chief, Matt Clark, said that an investigation has been opened, with authorities looking at surveillance footage and pooling resources with other local agencies. The footage has not been shared with the wider campus community. “If you put out the image, and it’s not the right person, that’s pretty detrimental,” Clark said, adding that wrongly collaring a suspect would “taint witness and victim testimony.”
