Voyeur hid under women’s vehicles to look at feet: Cops


Jesse Michael Johnson (KSAZ).
A man, previously cited for hiding under women’s vehicles to stare at their feet, did it again at a car wash this summer, according to cops in the city of Gilbert, Arizona.
Jesse Michael Johnson, 28, is charged with voyeurism and disorderly conduct, according to Phoenix Fox affiliate KSAZ.
In separate incidents, three women were vacuuming their SUVs at a Super Star Car Wash location near Riggs Road and Val Vista Drive.
“In these three incidents, defendant pulled into a parking spot next to the victim,” cops wrote. “While each victim was vacuuming her vehicle, defendant hid under her SUV and spent several minutes under her vehicle. The defendant climbed out from under the vehicle when each victim was finishing her vacuuming and left the area.”
Surveillance footage caught a man in the act. Cops say that is Johnson. He was arrested Tuesday and held on a $10,000 bond.
“At one point, you can see his head pop out on the driver’s side, looking up at me,” one of the women, Chanelle, told AZ Family. “I just never would have thought in a million years that there would be someone underneath of my car.”
Surveillance footage showed the perpetrator return to his vehicle and act like he was cleaning one of his tires.
“All of the victims had flip flops and shorts on. That’s what we all had in common,” Chanelle said.
She described having nightmares because of the incident.
“Going into the community and doing this to women is absolutely disgusting and I don’t think he realizes what it’s doing to us as the victims,” Chanelle said.
Back in June 2016, when Johnson was 20, authorities in Nebraska once cited him for hiding under a woman’s car to touch her feet. This was reportedly fourth time that year he was cited for this. Johnson reportedly admitted at the time that he was “sexually attracted to women’s feet” and he asserted he could not “control his sexual desires.”
A preliminary hearing is reportedly set for Oct. 3.
