Athens Police Search for Westside Peeping Tom

The offender is said to have no facial hair and possibly no hair on his head.

From August 2 until September 13, Athens Clarke County Police believe there have been at least five cases of peeping tom on and near Westchester Drive, according to a story in the Athens Banner Herald. There may have been more incidents that were detected.

The same slim, light-skinned colored black man has been seen outside people's homes. In one case, he was naked from the waist down and performing a sex act on himself, the story says. In another, he exposed himself to a woman and her children.

And police also believe, the story says, that the man went into a woman's house and touched her, then ran away when she screamed.

There is now a $1,000 reward because police believe he may escalate his behavior and commit an assault, the story says.
