Peeping tom victims told to fix blinds

SEATTLE, July 2 (UPI) -- A Seattle man accused of peering at his young female neighbors with binoculars couldn't help it because the women's blinds were up, his wife says.

Police reported the man acknowledged watching the neighbor women through their uncovered windows, but the man's wife defended him, saying the women left their blinds up and were "putting on a show" by walking around naked, the Seattle Times reported Wednesday.

Officers didn't cite the man and told the neighbor women, whose ages were not provided, to get their blinds fixed, the newspaper said. The report noted that the women said the blinds were broken but that they would ask their landlord to make repairs.
