Plano man arrested after repeated peeping incidents at teen's window, police say
A Plano man has been arrested after allegedly peeping into a teenage girl's bedroom window multiple times over the past few months, police said. Alberto Ventura Salinas, 40, was charged with disorderly conduct — peeping into a dwelling, according to a Plano Police Department news release issued Friday. Salinas, who authorities say lives in the same neighborhood where the incidents allegedly occurred, was arrested around 10:30 p.m. Thursday. Home security footage helped identify Salinas as the alleged culprit, police said. The arrest comes after East Plano mother Nedra Bounds told CBS News Texas that a "Peeping Tom" had shown up at her teen daughter's window at least 10 times over the past few months. In addition to going to police, Bounds asked for the public's help in identifying him. "He'll come, he's stumbling drunk," she said. "He's clearly at this point targeting her." Determined to protect her daughter, Bounds installed blackout curtains, floodlights and additional security cameras, hoping it would scare him off. "We've made about four to five phone calls to police at this point, and it just keeps escalating," she said. Bounds said the man exposed himself. "That's really the most concerning thing is that he's been caught with his pants down, he's seeking her window," she said. "She's a little girl. She doesn't want to think about those things." In Friday's news release, Plano police said: "While no physical exposure occurred during the incident, his behavior raised a significant concern." Bounds posted a picture of the man on social media, hoping someone would be able to identify him. She said the response has been overwhelming. "Everybody is just, 'I'll give you a camera,'" she said. "'Can I bring you a camera?' 'I'll sit outside your house.'" The investigation is ongoing, police said.

"He's clearly at this point targeting her." Determined to protect her daughter, she installed blackout curtains, floodlights, and additional security cameras, hoping it would scare him off.

At least two families report separate incidents involving the same individual, raising concerns throughout the community. What they're saying Alisha Brown, one of the victims, said her family's sense of safety has been shattered. "We're both on high alert," Brown said. "My son, he had to talk to his counselor today because he's been super hypervigilant and suspicious of everything and everyone around him." Brown said she woke up Wednesday morning to find the man standing just outside her bedroom window. "He would just stand here, which made me feel like he didn't want to be seen, but he could see into my bathroom," she recalled. Just two days earlier, Brown noticed the same man watching her while she was in the garden. "He made it all the way over and he saw me standing on my porch and then he jumped back," she said. Brown also recognized the man in Ring camera footage captured at a neighbor's home this week. "My heart dropped into my stomach again," she said. "It was him. It was him. It fit my description to a T." What we know Atlanta police responded to Brown's home on Wednesday and briefly pursued the suspect, but he got away.

I wasn't touched, but I feel touched." What you can do Police are urging anyone with information or who has experienced similar activity to come forward. The man's face has been blurred in surveillance footage as authorities work to confirm his identity. The Source The Atlanta Police Department provided the details of the Peeping Tom case.
