Creepiness Continues To Reign

Nude photos lead to arrest
Police say man used hidden camera to photograph woman

A clock radio in a Greenwood woman's bedroom and bathroom was doing more than telling her the time or playing tunes. The woman's personal trainer is accused of giving her the digital clock radio with a video camera inside as a gift and recording more than 400 images of her, police said. Will Lenzy, 57, of 720 Woodale Terrace, Apt. 16 in Greenwood, was arrested Tuesday on charges of voyeurism with an electronic device, a felony, and harassment, a misdemeanor. Johnson County Prosecutor Lance Hamner said Thursday his office is reviewing the case before deciding what charges to file. This could be one of the first crimes of its kind in Johnson County and one of the few reported in Central Indiana, Greenwood police Chief Joe Pitcher said. "It's eerie," Pitcher said. "Who knows where those images may have ended up." The two met at Bally Total Fitness, where Lenzy was a trainer for the woman, according to a probable-cause affidavit. Lenzy helped her move furniture and gave her the clock as a gift, which he then used to record images of the woman in her bedroom and bathroom during the next four months, the report said.

Now, I'm not criticizing this woman for accepting the clock without question. How would she know this guy was a pervert—and a technologically gifted one at that? But an alarm clock is sort of a weird gift, unless it was special in some way (also mowed your lawn or cost $200 or something). So, because people have to go on and be all psychotic and crap, my advice is this: just don't trust people. Particularly people you meet at the gym. In fact, you better not get a personal trainer at all. If you do and they give you some housewarming present other than like, cookware or a blanket, question it immediately. Take it apart and study its functionality if necessary. When it turns out to be harmless, throw said gift away because you have no idea how to get it back together. Unfortunately people like this are going to turn us all into paranoid delusionals. Luckily I already have some experience with that.
