Dad reports son to police after disturbing discovery on memory card

GRANDVIEW HEIGHTS, OH -- A father in central Ohio has turned his son in to police after discovering the teenager might be a 'Peeping Tom,' WBNS-TV in Columbus reports.

The father of the 15-year-old boy made the discovery while doing his son's laundry. He found a memory card with photos and videos of three women around the Grandview Heights neighborhood near Columbus. He said the women were undressed in many of the photos which had been taken from outside their bedroom windows.

"There were a few that were dressed, and there were quite a few where the women were not dressed at all," he told WBNS-TV. "It was just feelings of disgust flowing through me, like why would somebody do this to another human being?"

The father said he confronted his son, who admitted to taking the photos through the windows of nearby homes. The father then called the police and gave them the memory card.

Police say they're continuing to search the teen's electronics and are working to identify and contact the women in the photos. Charges haven't been filed.

"He has to, I guess, face the consequences for his actions," the father said. "I love my son unconditionally. But that love is not going to override the fact that he needs to pay for what he did."
