Kansas University police have released photographs of a person of interest in three reports of a man peeking into the showers at female students at Hashinger and McCollum residence halls at KU this week.

The suspect has been described as a white male, 18 to 21 years old, 6-foot-3, with short, light-brown hair. He was wearing a red shirt, blue jeans and white tennis shoes, according to KU Police Capt. Schuyler Bailey.

A woman reported a man looked into the shower stall while she was inside it Monday evening in a fourth-floor Hashinger Hall women’s restroom, and similar reports were made Wednesday morning at McCollum Hall on the eighth and third floors, Bailey said.

KU released an updated crime alert on the incidents Friday morning, including the photographs. Anyone with information on the case or who recognizes the person in the photo is encouraged to call KU Crime Stoppers at 864-8888.

Any plans to make photos/videos available for mobile web users? Site all ready works great as far as finding stories/ reading on my phone, would be amazing if all media was available as well.

Actually, I was sitting down, alone.

And I prefer the term geek, thank you.

if that ordinance were passed, he wouldn't be breaking the law if he claims to be "gender confused."

Darn ordinance. You can't get it out of your mind eh?

I don't want the populus to forget - so it doesn't get sneaked in.

Actually he would be breaking the law. Peeping is peeping. It wouldn't make any difference if he was an actual woman pulling back the curtain to take a gander. It would still be illegal. I think someone doth protest too much.

Okay, so if the ordinance is passed, this guy wouldn't have to peep to see, he'd be allowed to walk right in and shower with them.

What's disappointing about this picture quality is it looks like it could be several people I know, including myself. Not exactly gonna nail down anything solid with that kind of resolution.

No,a prosecutor probably can't convict on those photos, but the pics may be helpful in narrowing things down. If, for instance, the police get tips that he looks like three different guys--Tom, Dick, and Harry--they can subsequently rule out Tom and Dick, who have no access to those dorms, solid alibis for the time at which the photos were taken, etc...

But maybe Harry lives in one of the halls, knows lots of people who would let him into the other one, has no alibi upon questioning, etc... Maybe they will find Harry's fingerprints on the doors to those women's restrooms, or even on a wall or something actually inside the restroom. I can see where the photos could help in pinpointing possible suspects in this way, even if they are not strong enough to stand on their own as evidence.

True enough. Either way, I'm sure if the police found the right guy, he'd admit his guilt without much pressuring. I can't imagine more than a slap on the wrist, though. Perhaps expulsion from the dorms if he was a resident (which I doubt). Maybe some community service, at worst.
