Masturbating intruder took picture of woman on her own phone and put it on Facebook

Police are hunting a masturbating flasher who broke into a home, took a photo of a woman showering with her own phone then posted it on her Facebook page.

The bizarre and disturbing crime took place at a residential complex in Altamonte Springs, Florida.

Locals had previously reported a man touching himself outside an apartment window, reports WESH 2 News.

But on Wednesday night officers were called to the scene after the same suspected flasher broke into a home.

While inside, he saw a woman in the shower and used her phone to take a picture of her.

After police arrived the photo was posted on her Facebook page.

Altamonte Springs police spokesman Rob Pelton said: ‘Having someone actually in your apartment while you are taking a shower is quite scary honestly.

‘Going to get a victim’s cell phone and having the gall to stand inside of a residence that you have broken into to steal someone’s cell phone and use it to take a picture of them in the shower is unheard of.’
