A juvenile girl reported catching her mother's fiancé looking at her through a crack in the bathroom door. The girl and her sister said on one of the occasions the girl was wearing only a towel. When the girls told their mother, the mother and her fiancé sought counseling through their church. The pastor reported the incident to social services who contacted police. When questioned by police, the 50-year-old Longmont man said he accidentally discovered the crack and had used it for the sole purpose of viewing the girl naked. He said he had looked through it at least 20 times in the past year and a half. The man said he had a "character flaw" that he needed to work on. The girls said they considered him to be a father figure and didn't want to press charges. Under the recommendation of the Boulder County Sexual Assault Review Team, the man was arrested at the police station at 7 a.m. June 25 on suspicion of unlawful sexual contact-observation/photography.
