A Michigan man is behind bars after getting arrested during a peeping Tom investigation. According to WDIV Local 4, Justin Moore of Warren was caught looking into the bathroom window of a 17-year-old girl after the child’s mom called the police.
Moore is a registered sex offender, and this arrest comes as he was already in legal trouble for another incident when he was convicted of second-degree criminal sexual conduct and first-degree home invasion. However, after taking him into custody for the peeping Tom incident, officers say they discovered evidence to suggest that Moore had been committing other crimes as well.
The outlet report now lists six additional charges that were filed against Moore. If he’s convicted of these, he could spend a significant amount of time behind bars, but he won’t make his next appearance in front of a judge until Sept. 15.
For now, he has pleaded not guilty, and bond was set at $250,000. If he is released, he will be barred from contacting any of the victims associated with his case, and he’ll also be prohibited from accessing the internet.
A Mother Called 911 After Moore Allegedly Watched Her Daughter in the Bathroom
Police were called to a Warren, Michigan, home on Aug. 27, 2026, after a mother said a man was peeking into the bathroom window early Thursday morning. When officers arrived, they found Moore dressed in all black in the backyard, and he ignored commands from the officers and instead ran through some neighboring yards in an attempt to escape police.
Officers eventually took him into custody, which is when they learned of his registered sex offender status. Further investigation into Moore uncovered concerning information on his home computer, and by Friday the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office had authorized additional charges against the 22-year-old man, including stalking of a minor, two counts of using a computer to commit a crime, disorderly person, resisting and obstructing police, surveilling an unclothed person, and aggravated stalking.
Combined, those crimes could put Moore behind bars for a maximum of 33 years and 3 months.
Incidents Like This Can Shake a Community
Warren Police Commissioner Eric Hawkins released a statement about what happened in an attempt to ease neighborhood fears. “While incidents of this nature are incredibly rare, we understand how unsettling they can be for any family,” Hawkins said in a written statement reviewed by CBS News. “Our community can take full confidence in the swift, decisive action of our officers.”
Without knowing the full details of what investigators discovered, it may be hard for the victim and her neighbors to feel confident that Moore wasn’t watching others as well. Especially since Marshall & Saunders says voyeurism is a somewhat common crime, and technology is making it a bit more complicated since people can use cameras and other technology to spy on people without their knowledge.
Fortunately, it sounds like many states have strong laws to protect people against these crimes. Hopefully the teen girl mentioned in the Moore case is getting all of the support she needs through this challenging time.
