The sheriff's office said they have been investigating a string of window peeping, surveillance of unclothed persons and home invasion incidents if off-campus housing areas since September 2025.
Investigators have been working to identify the suspect and have received 12 reports of similar cases. The reports said a man was peeping into windows and/or recording female residents inside their apartments. In other incidents, the man entered apartments.
