UT Peeping Tom Says He Got In To Female Bathrooms Because of Broken Lock
Howard Sterling Hensley, who is also a 2015 UT graduate, admitted to using an iPhone to take pictures of the victim at Hess Hall, according to police reports.
One student said even though there's a separation between male and female living areas, there's been a man in a Hess Hall bathroom before. "While girls were taking showers, a guy walked through the showers," Isabelle Pinzon said. "So that was always kind of an issue."
Another student said she's tired of seeing people in areas they're not supposed to be in. "It frustrates me when men and other people, they're not supposed to be on that side or over there," Elsie Crisp said."
The university said there are policies in place to prevent similar situations. Those include:
-each student has a key card that only lets them into specific areas
-entrances are staffed 24 hours per day
-when someone moves or graduates, key cards is wiped clean
