Police arrest sex offender for drone voyeurism

Cranston Police in Rhode Island say they have arrested a convicted sex offender on a fresh felony charge of video voyeurism. The accused was reportedly using a small drone to peer inside the bathroom window of a woman in his neighborhood.

The incident took place on June 21, 2023, at approximately 11 p.m. According to the police, an unidentified female filed a report with officers stating she had just returned home from work and was in her bathroom preparing to use the shower. The window in the bathroom was slightly open and the woman could hear a buzzing noise outside.

She then went out in the backyard thinking it had something to do with her pool. It was there that she noticed a drone hovering outside her bathroom window. When she approached the drone, it moved quickly away from her to get away and hit a tree in the process.

The drone fell to the ground and the woman quickly grabbed it before it and dunked it in her pool to disable the aircraft….
