A pair of douchebags made a Peeping Tom video recording of their naked neighbors and put it on the internet online.
Authorities say that David Cunha and David Siemiesz, both Wentworth juniors, secretly taped two female MassArt students in bed together from across an alley that separates their dorm rooms. The video made its way to the internet, where it has been widely seen by the pervy and the curious.
Boston police had charged Cunha and Siemiesz with videotaping a person who is nude or partially nude without knowledge or consent, a misdemeanor that can carry jail time. But, the Roxbury District Court has declined to issue a criminal complaint, pending a Wentworth investigation.
It's always reassuring when the price of a college tuition can keep our youth out of the criminal justice system.
While the women had evidently left their blinds open before getting into bed together, they still have a reasonable expectation of privacy in the United States, and it is a criminal offense to make secret recordings of naked people in Massachusetts.
Siemiesz, quoted in the Globe, couldn't decide whether he should blame the victims or his own friends for his misdeeds. On the one hand, he said "This all would have never happened if their windows were closed." But, when explaining his decision to videotape the women as a crowd of his friends looked on, Siemiesz said, "I don't want to be seen as the loser who doesn't want to have any fun."
Bostonist wishes you good luck with that.
The Globe was friendly enough to run a photo of Cunha and Siemiesz, so that you can easily identify them if you are ever on the other side of a job interview.
