A 48-year-old man was arrested in connection to a series of peeping incidents outside a Boulder family home, according to the Boulder Police Department.

The incidents happened on May 8, May 12 and May 25 in the 1200 block of Mariposa Avenue.

According to Boulder police, the family installed a game camera to see wildlife. Instead, the camera caught a man masturbating while watching their juvenile daughter in the shower.
