Man wanted in sex crime targeted same home at least 3 times, Orange County deputies say

Deputies: Surveillance video shows more break-in attempts by exposer

ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – A man who deputies say forced his way into a home and exposed himself to someone inside is now wanted in at least two instances of voyeurism, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.

Investigators said a man entered a home along the 5600 block of Astoria Place and exposed himself to a person inside the home. Deputies said the man grabbed at the victim but they were able to get away and call for help.

According to the sheriff’s office, the man was previously caught on video in December 2020 peering into a window at that home, watching someone inside. Investigators said the same man was reported peering into the same window two weeks later.
