Peeping Tom 2.0: Madison County Man Arrested for Videotaping College Students

A Comer man was accused of being a kind of electronic peeping tom, filming college students by peering into their bedroom windows.

According to a story in the Athens Banner Herald, a Clarke County Grand Jury indicted  Comer resident John Adam Evers, 38, with invasion of privacy, two counts of Peeping Tom, and three counts of loitering or prowling. The indictment was filed Tuesday in Clarke County Superior Court.

The story says the first incident was roughly three years ago, in September 2010, in an apartment complex on Riverbend Parkway. A 21-year-old UGA student said she noticed a camera or cell phone outside her bedroom window, and police later found boot prints there.

This past March, the story says, another student and her roommate saw someone outside their Riverbend Parkway apartment, and subsequently saw a dark truck drive away. Police found Evers in such a truck, sweating profusely, the story says. In that incident, Evers was charged with loitering and prowling, and police eventually linked him to the September 2010 case.
