A University of Georgia student reported over the weekend that she caught someone spying on her as she undressed in her apartment.

According to a report she filed with the Athens-Clarke County Police Department, the 19-year-old student said the incident happened at about 12:36 a.m. Sunday at River Club Apartments on Macon Highway.

The report indicates that while she was undressing in the bathroom of her residence the student noticed a cellphone being pressed against the outside of her bedroom window, and through a gap in the blinds she saw that the device was being held with possibly a PopSocket by a white male who was wearing a black shirt and gray sweatpants.

The peeping Tom fled when the student screamed, according to the report, and upon being wakened by the noise the student’s roommates helped her look around outside, but they saw no one.

A police officer who responded to the student's 911 call unsuccessfully searched the area for a suspect.
