Man charged after several peeping Tom incidents in Raleigh, Fuquay-Varina

On Tuesday, Terry Devont Harris was arrested and charged with three counts of misdemeanor secret peeping and one count of misdemeanor stalking. Harris, 41, was taken to the Wake County Detention Center.

Fuquay-Varina police found Harris after responding to a 'prowler' call at a home on Santee Circle on Monday night. Harris was additionally charged in a similar transgression from December that occurred in Fuquay-Varina.

Harris lives in Fuquay-Varina and was released from prison in June of 2021 after spending five years imprisoned on a burglary conviction.

Police said multiple incidents were reported at the 4600 block of Brockton Drive in Raleigh from February 11 to April 2.

It was on Valentine's Day when one of the victims caught a man peeping through her apartment’s bedroom window.

“You can see the silhouette at the window. My boyfriend said 'is somebody at the window?'" the victim told WRAL News. "We went to the window and he pulled the blinds down and we looked. He was still peeping in the window but he couldn’t see in.”

That wasn’t the first time.

The victim said her young daughter heard the man trying to break in.

“That Friday prior, my daughter was sleeping on the couch she came into my room at 3 a.m. and said 'mommy somebody knocked at your back door,'” she said.

Her mother also experienced the same thing the very next day.

“My mom woke up Sunday morning and said 'it sounded like somebody was jabbing at your back door last night', when that happened I just put everything together," she said.

After the incident, she said she couldn’t sleep at all. She’d only been living there for two weeks.

She moved right away.

“It’s been very effective. Even now, even though I moved into my new home I will wake up at the drop of any sound," she said. "I can’t sleep throughout the night. I can’t be home alone”

Several other people have also reported similar incidents at the same apartment complex.

“He needs to get caught because if he doesn’t get caught by the police and somebody else catches him they might do what I didn’t do,” she said.
