Plano man arrested after repeated peeping incidents at teen's window, police say
A Plano man has been arrested after allegedly peeping into a teenage girl's bedroom window multiple times over the past few months, police said. Alberto Ventura Salinas, 40, was charged with disorderly conduct — peeping into a dwelling, according to a Plano Police Department news release issued Friday. Salinas, who authorities say lives in the same neighborhood where the incidents allegedly occurred, was arrested around 10:30 p.m. Thursday. Home security footage helped identify Salinas as the alleged culprit, police said. The arrest comes after East Plano mother Nedra Bounds told CBS News Texas that a "Peeping Tom" had shown up at her teen daughter's window at least 10 times over the past few months. In addition to going to police, Bounds asked for the public's help in identifying him. "He'll come, he's stumbling drunk," she said. "He's clearly at this point targeting her." Determined to protect her daughter, Bounds installed blackout curtains, floodlights and additional security cameras, hoping it would scare him off. "We've made about four to five phone calls to police at this point, and it just keeps escalating," she said. Bounds said the man exposed himself. "That's really the most concerning thing is that he's been caught with his pants down, he's seeking her window," she said. "She's a little girl. She doesn't want to think about those things." In Friday's news release, Plano police said: "While no physical exposure occurred during the incident, his behavior raised a significant concern." Bounds posted a picture of the man on social media, hoping someone would be able to identify him. She said the response has been overwhelming. "Everybody is just, 'I'll give you a camera,'" she said. "'Can I bring you a camera?' 'I'll sit outside your house.'" The investigation is ongoing, police said.

North Texas mom seeks help to identify "Peeping Tom" seen at teen daughter's window
An East Plano mom said a "Peeping Tom" has shown up at her teenage daughter's window at least 10 times over the past few months. She's gone to the police and is now asking for the public's help in identifying him. Nedra Bounds said that at first, it was a man's face suddenly appearing in her 13-year-old daughter's window, then he started to linger. "He'll come, he's stumbling drunk," she said. "He's clearly at this point targeting her." Determined to protect her daughter, she installed blackout curtains, floodlights, and additional security cameras, hoping it would scare him off. "We've made about four to five phone calls to police at this point, and it just keeps escalating," she said. Bounds said the man exposed himself. "That's really the most concerning thing is that is that he's been caught with his pants down, he's seeking her window," she said. "She's a little girl. She doesn't want to think about those things." Bounds posted a picture of the man on social media, hoping someone would be able to identify him. She said the response has been overwhelming. "Everybody is just, 'I'll give you a camera,'" she said. "'Can I bring you a camera?' 'I'll sit outside your house.'" Plano police confirm they're investigating and detectives are reviewing the videos of the man.
