Boulder police arrested Wesley Cox on November 20 for suspicion of misdemeanor trespassing, unlawful sexual conduct and invasion of property after discovering that he had been secretly videotaping couples having sex and breaking into homes to steal women’s undergarments.
Cox was first arrested on Halloween, when two neighbors discovered him crouched outside a nearby home, videotaping a couple having sex in their bedroom. The neighbors wrestled him to the ground until police arrived on the scene.
Officers found in his possession a police radio-frequency scanner, flashlight, digital video camera, and a concealed microphone inside his jacket. He was released on bond and came under renewed scrutiny on November 15, when police obtained a search warrant and made a visit to his home.
During their search of his premises, they viewed a video tape showing two different couples engaging in sex in the privacy of their home, as captured by him outside of their bedroom windows. The video images also showed three women getting dressed or stepping out of the shower, and Cox masturbating with women’s undergarments in the bedrooms of two different homes.
Police have confiscated three computers in an effort to obtain additional evidence and they are also investigating the possibility that he may have put some of his tapes on the internet.
According to police spokeswoman Sarah Huntley, Cox’s ‘M.O.’ appears to be that he breaks into homes, steals underwear, becomes fixated on the women, returns and videos them. During their search, officers recovered 25 panties, 23 bras, 20 thongs, 10 Boulder High School cheerleader outfit pieces and 5 swimsuit pieces.
Cox is currently free after posting a $10,000 bond and will appear in court for his next hearing on Tuesday December 9.
