19 years of masturbatory thrills over for landlord voyeur

A few strange stories from this week's news. File these in the category of "and you thought you were sexually fucked up? ha!"

Starting with this fellow who apparently came up with the bright idea, when he was in his 20s, to rig his rental units with cameras so he could watch female tenants in their most private moments.

Man Allegedly Spied on Female Tenants

A suburban Philadelphia landlord secretly videotaped 34 female tenants over two decades after hiding cameras in their apartments, authorities said Friday.

Thomas Daley, 45, will face additional charges stemming from the new victims identified and his alleged efforts to remove some cameras during the investigation....

Daley had installed the cameras — typically one in the bedroom and one in the bathroom — in at least 7 apartments he rented to women in Norristown over the last 19 years, Reynolds said.

Daley's sophisticated set-up fed the camera images to a recording system in the basement, and enabling him to view the tapes from his home via the Internet, authorities have said.

He hid the tiny cameras behind mirrors and in cabinets and ceiling fans, and some turned on with the flip of a light switch, they said.

I'm guessing that when he was in his immature early 20s, this must've seemed like a genius idea, and would give him all the free porn he wanted on the sly. Over the top but not outside the realm of stupid juvenile pranks.

But what was he thinking by the time he hit his 30s and 40s? Was he, by then, so addicted to watching the tapes that what started out as a crazy whim turned into a lifelong obsession? Did he lose all perspective, or was he always crazy?

I'm curious to know whether he ever married or had kids, or whether his entire sex life these past 20 years or so has revolved around collecting and watching forbidden tapes of unsuspecting victims of his voyeuristic fetish.

This is enough to give masturbators a bad name.

There are many "hidden camera" videos posted on the Internet these days. I suspect most are staged fakes, just to give the viewer and extra thrill. But how many women are really being violated this way and then exposed unknowingly to the public? I always feel creepy seeing them, so I don't make a habit of watching.

There is nothing wrong with a man wanting to look at naked women. He just came up with a great way of doing it that didn't cost him as much money as dinner, a movie, having to think and say exactly the thing she wanted to hear while denying himself his true feelings and opinions.

No harm was done to these women. He didn't violently attack them. He just enjoyed looking at them naked. What is wrong with that? My God, a man that likes to look at naked women, how horrible and disgusting he must be!!! Oh wait, all men like to look at naked women. Does that make us all horrible and disgusting? Nope, it makes us human.

Imagine where humans would be if men didn't like the way women looked. That's right, extinct!!!

Thank God for the internet, where men can do and say exactly what they want without hurting a woman's feelings, or having her think he is disgusting since he wants to see her naked.

Stop making laws that makes being a healthy male illegal, and repeal all laws that go against male's natural instincts. Natural is normal and should not be considered "crazy" and bizarre.
