Crime Woman Videotapes Man Masturbating In Own Home, Man Gets In Trouble

Post By news intern Alexander P. Brown
On August 21, police were called out an apartment in Eastlake where a 32-year-old woman told police that she spotted a man masturbating in an adjacent apartment building. The woman—who lives on the third floor of her building—told officers that in the last month, she's watched a man, who lives on the second floor of the nearby building, rub one out on five different occasions. The woman also told police that the man's blinds are only one-quarter to one-half way open when he's masturbating. However, the woman says she's never seen the man looking out the window while pulling his pecker.
In order to prove her story, the woman took a video of the man masturbating and showed it to police.
Officers contacted the man—who, the report says, is 64-years-old—and told him that his neighbors could see him stroking it. According to the report, the man told police “he did not know anyone could see into his apartment… and was alarmed that someone had videotaped him.”
Police told the man to shut his blinds in the future and informed him that he could be arrested if his neighbors spotted him again.
Under Washington State law, the woman could be convicted of voyeurism if it turns out she was videotaping the man for sexual gratification. Kinky.

Well, we all know that S-E-X is bad. You just can't help knowing that everytime you lay your eyes on another person, that there was S-E-X involved. So, get your blinders people, save your innocence. Oh, and buy that lady some foil, so she can cover her windows, and free herself from the temptation that draws her eyes.

And if your eye tempt you into sin, pluck it out; I say to you that it is better to lose an eye than the kingdom of heaven?
and
You hypocrites! Remove you the plank from your eye before you say to your brother, there is a mote in your eye.
All of which I take to me that she should just shut her own damn blinds or move to someplace where she'll have hotter (and therefore more acceptable) neighbors.

She watched him FIVE times before deciding it was so disgusting and disturbing that the police should be called?!?
This reminds me of the SPD jack-shack stings, where our tax dollars pay for the pigs to get a year's worth of happy endings to help "build their case".

Old joke:
Policeman to woman who phoned in a complaint: "Ma'am, those nudists are over a mile away. You couldn't possibly see them."
Woman: "With my binoculars I can!"

Wait. She COULD be arrested? Why isn't she arrested? If this were a man, and he had videotaped a woman through her blinds in her apartment, I have no doubt the cops would have taken in him.
She's a peeping tom. She should be arrested.

Doesn't anyone respect tradition anymore? That's called a window show, and it used to be quite common on Capitol Hill. (actually, it probably still is, but I'm just a Beacon Hill housewife who doesn't get out much)
At least the guy was trying to be discreet: Capitol Hill window shows - at least back in my day - involved stage lighting, pre-show announcements on 28 Barbary Lane (kids, ask you Gay Uncle what that was) and sometimes a soundtrack.
And she was only thirty-two, which is a tad too young to be so uptight. What is happening to the youth of this country?

A 32 year old woman watching a 64 year old man masturbate? yeeeah... she's not getting off, she's watching a car wreck. I'd be hard pressed t look away either, even though I'd be repulsed.
10
she watched him 5 times??? does he have some big dick that made her want to look? now i have to make sure the blinds are fully closed when guys are over or when i'm walking out nude.
11
The woman should be arrested anyway for voyeurism unless she turns over the tape to the police to be destroyed. It's hard to believe, 64 years old or not, that she wasn't somehow getting off on watching this guy. If she couldn't tear herself away from the window and go watch a Disney video or something instead, she's the pervert, not him.

This could be a new series from Penthouse, publishers of "Barely Legal".
Barely Breathing?
Barely Living?
Barely Existing on Social Security?

Great. So the SPD is willing to channel the Taliban for some puritanical bitch. Cite her for aggravated pearl-clutching.
17
This is just icky all the way around. I don't want to watch a 67 year old man jerk off.... I don't think..... and now I feel like I have to hide when I jerk off cause I'm sure my neighbors are waiting to watch me.. and I live in a basement apt. with few subterranean windows.

Oh, 28BBL... it made coming out (and the process of having sex with boys for the first time which led to coming out and meeting my now best friend!) so much easier. Gay geeks, ftw.
21
Since when does intent make something a crime or not? Is this saying if she intended to sell the tapes on eBay it'd be perfectly fine (a commercial intent), but not if she got juicy with them herself (a sexual intent)?
And isn't there a reasonable expectation of privacy *not* to be videotaped in your own home--no matter what the intent of the videotaper?

@20: Made me re-examine my perspective.
Have decided to stick with the ageism.
You live in Eastlake, yes?

#13 - not to be a stickler, but Barely Legal is published by Hustler, not Penthouse.
Or so I've heard....

The woman's a perv. His blinds weren't fully open and he said he was unaware that anyone could see him, which I take to mean that she was really working at getting the view. So why isn't she in clink? She should get the warning, not him.
27
As a 24yr old female, living near eastlake, who just masterbated with my blinds partly open...I appreciate this warning article. Im expecting a call from SPD any minute now.

sweetie when you do it in the tub it doesn't matter if you leave the front door open, no one will see you...

Couldn't this woman - uhm, well put a discreet note on the guy's door if she was bothered by it?
Most people who don't get off on being watched would try to close the curtains

Quit looking you stupid, non-fucking (apparently) bitch...if the dude isn't doing anything to deliberately allow you to see him, it's really none of your fucking ass business what he's doing in his apartment.
Better yet, move to some remote place where you won't have to interact with any other human being...like the Arctic Circle.

^^^^^^^
People will watch
Another's crotch,
Love it or hate it,
Helplessly rate it,
Hear angels singing
Then due to upbringing
Call that seraph
Or the sheriff.

@ 31 Thank you for the insightful verse. Now I just need a melody - big rock candy mountain sounds about right...
and now for the lulz, Darius of Hootie and the Blowfish fame singing the BK version that features "breasts that grow on trees:"

What a weak woman. Either make that phone call after the first time, instead of the 5th, or don't bother at all.
35
it's an elaborate scenario for her... now that she's called the cops on him, she can go over to make it up to him =)
36
Total bitch. Not just for watching some poor old guy masturbate, not just for videotaping same poor old guy masturbating, but then running and telling on him? If you have a fucking problem, tell him yourself, instead of calling the police and putting his jerk-off habits on public record. It's called fucking discretion.
37
@15 and @7,
the only thing is, no guy, unless he was a father who had kids that he didn't want exposed to that kind of thing, would VIDEO TAPE a chick diddling herself THEN call the cops to complain about it. if he did...NO DOUBT he'd be thrown in jail.

"The food is terrible! And the portions are so small!"
Jesus, this is like people who don't like a TV program turning it on every night, watching the whole thing, and bitching about it. Your neighbor is entitled to spank his own monkey in his own home. Pull your blinds if you find the view distasteful.
