Silver Spring Man Charged In Series Of Peeping Tom, Indecent Exposure Incidents

SILVER SPRING, MD — A Silver Spring man is facing numerous charges for his involvement in a series of peeping tom and indecent exposure incidents in Montgomery County, according to police.

Steven Jarezz Adams, 32, was charged with indecent exposure, peeping tom, first-degree assault, second-degree assault and trespassing following the incidents, which took place between December 2025 and January 2026, Montgomery County police said in a release.

According to police, Adams exposed himself through a sliding glass door to a female victim inside her home in the 8300 block of McCullough Lane in Gaithersburg before leaving the scene. The incident happened on Christmas Eve shortly after 3:45 a.m.

On Jan. 7, police said Adams walked to a window of another residence in the 8300 block of McCullough Lane. Police said a female victim saw a person's shadow through a window and, upon opening the blinds, saw Adams, who then walked away from the residence and left the area.

On the same day, around 10:30 p.m., police said a neighbor saw Adams shining a flashlight through the sliding glass door of a home in the 17700 block of Silkcotton Way in Gaithersburg. Adams then left the scene, according to police.

On Jan. 15, around 7:05 p.m., a male victim was inside his home in the 8300 block of McCullough Lane when he received a notification on his cell phone that his security cameras had sensed motion on his patio. Police said the victim confronted Adams, who then pulled out a knife and swung it towards the victim before leaving the scene.

Following the Jan. 15 incident, detectives obtained an arrest warrant for Adams, charging him with multiple counts.

According to police, Adams was spotted on Tuesday walking to the rear of an apartment complex in the 8000 block of Gramercy Boulevard in Derwood. A police drone later captured Adams looking into several ground-level apartment windows and doors and exposing himself, police said.

When officers approached Adams to arrest him again, police said he ran away. After a short chase on foot, he was taken into custody.

Adams was transported to the Montgomery County Central Processing Unit, where he is being held without bond.
