Washington- A 25-year-old south Everett man who was spotted lurking in the shadows outside a residence near his home was charged Tuesday with three counts of voyeurism after Snohomish County sheriff’s deputies had a look at the digital camcorder he had strapped to his arm.

Erick Miller Serr is accused in Snohomish County Superior Court of recording images of several young women and girls in various stages of undress.

He was arrested Friday night after neighbors spotted him watching a home in the 3100 block of 110th Street SE, deputy prosecutor George Appel said.

After deputies got a search warrant for the camcorder, they discovered images of a partly clothed neighbor girl dressing in her room. The video was made from outside her bedroom from a second-story deck, Appel said.

Another shot was from outside a residence and depicted a woman in her late teens or early 20s also changing her clothes, Appeal said.

Images of a younger teenager and shots of three younger girls also were on the camera, Appel said.

Serr at first told police some of the views had been taken by another person named Alex whom he did not know very well. Appel said the story changed, and he later admitted filming much of what was on the camera.

On the night he was arrested, he told detectives he was just out “screwing around,” Appel said.

According to court documents, when Serr was asked if he had taken any video of the home he was watching the night he was arrested, he responded: “I don’t think so. I could see the window and everything, but I would have had to climb the highest tree to see in.”
