According to a police booking affidavit, the man, was who was 17 when he allegedly looked in the window but turned 18 on Wednesday, was booked into the Salt Lake County Jail for investigation of voyeurism.
On Sunday, a girl observed someone looking inside her window in the area of 700 North and 900 West as she undressed, according to the affidavit.

The man ran off before police arrived. But after Salt Lake police released a picture taken by the witnesses to the public, they received several tips and were able to identify the suspect. The man admitted to police he used his cell phone to record the girl undressing and "also described a similar pattern of previous voyeurisms," according to the affidavit.
