Accused Women's Bathroom, Dressing Room Peeper Arrested Again

MANCHESTER, NH — Police have moved forward with a fourth violation of privacy charge against a Manchester man accused of peeping on women. Travis Demers, 21, was arrested Oct. 3 after a man was reported in the women's restroom at Hannaford's Supermarket in Manchester.

Surveillance video showed a man walking into the bathroom around 5:24 p.m., about five minutes before an employee, according to police. The employee said she saw no feet in the stall next to her, but it was "oddly quiet" and she felt like someone was there. When she left to wash her hands, she saw two gray sneakers visible in the stall, police said.

The man left the bathroom around 5:37 p.m. and sat on a bench with a phone in his hand before walking to his car, according to police. The employee believed she recognized the man due to his picture being posted on social media for previous arrests.

Police stopped the man, identified as Demers, and learned he had an active warrant out for failure to appear on a robbery charge. He was also charged with falsifying physical evidence and violation of bail conditions. Demers was out on bail for three charges of violation of privacy stemming from three separate incidents over the summer, police said.

"I’m very concerned that Demers continues this course of conduct despite having been in front of the judge on two previous occasions. He has demonstrated his disregard for the legal system by his actions, and failing to appear in court on one occasion," Manchester Police Chief Carlo Capano said in a statement. "At some point we have to take the victims into consideration when bail is being determined. Demers's repeated arrests while out on PR bail absolutely creates a risk to the public as he continues to victimize people in our community."

Police believe there may be more victims.
