According to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office, officers responded to a call reporting a suspicious individual looking into the windows of homes in the area. The exact location of the neighborhood was not disclosed in the report.
Penn was first noticed by a neighbor on May 7th, and two weeks later, the same neighbor’s security camera captured him standing on a bucket, peering into the window of a minor who was not present in the room at the time.
When the neighbor spotted Penn, he fled and dropped a tube of lube.
Despite the neighbor promptly notifying the police, no formal report was filed.
“I don’t know him, but I have seen him a couple of times walking in the neighborhood,” stated another resident.
Penn has since been released on bond.
Upon investigation by Action News Jax at his residence, a no-trespassing sign was observed in the window of his home.
Homeowners in the area stated that it is a quiet neighborhood. Learning what happened has led to widespread shock.
The incident has prompted a call for heightened attention among residents.
“We should be aware if there’s sex offenders, peeping toms, and anything that is a disgrace like that,” said another resident.
In addition to voyeurism charges, Penn faces accusations of loitering and prowling. He is scheduled to appear in court on May 29th.
