A 33-year-old man is facing voyeurism charges after allegedly removing bathroom door trim to spy on female employees at a Plymouth apartment house.

On Monday, March 16, at approximately 3:15 p.m., Officer Thornton with the Plymouth Police Department was dispatched to 300 Water Street in response to a "peeping tom" complaint.

Upon arrival, officers spoke with female staff members who reported that a client had tampered with the restroom door. According to the employees, the man had removed the door trim to spy on them while they were using the bathroom. Authorities noted that a similar issue involving the suspect had been previously reported.

During this latest incident, a staff member was able to capture photographic evidence, taking a picture of the suspect—identified as 33-year-old Jacob E. Satkoski—actively looking through the door jamb.

When questioned by police, Satkoski admitted to moving the door trim and looking into the restroom. However, he claimed his actions were not for visual voyeurism, but rather so he could eavesdrop on the phone conversations the staff members were having while inside.

Following a review of the evidence, a probable cause affidavit was approved. Satkoski was taken into custody and transported to the Marshall County Jail. He was booked on a preliminary charge of voyeurism and is currently being held on a $5,000 cash bond.

Readers are reminded that charging information supported by an affidavit of probable cause is a mere allegation that a crime has been committed and that there is only probable cause to believe a crime has been committed. They are presumed innocent throughout the proceedings and are entitled to be represented by counsel and entitled to a trial by jury at which the State is obligated to provide proof beyond a reasonable doubt before a judgment of guilt may be made.
