Little Havana peeping tom surrenders after wife confronts him, police say

Miami – Miami police on Wednesday announced the arrest of a man they said is accused of touching himself while looking inside a home where a girl was changing clothes and two other children were present.

Alexander Perez Piloto, 38, of Hialeah, was arrested after authorities issued a security alert about the disturbing incident, which was captured on surveillance video last week in Little Havana.

According to investigators, the video shows Perez Piloto looking out the window of a home near Southwest 10th Street and Seventh Avenue at approximately 6:45 a.m. on Aug. 21.

Police said he was seen engaging in lewd behavior while outside a four-building complex where a 6-year-old girl and two other boys (ages 8 and 10, along with a 30-year-old woman) were inside.

The girl’s father, Jose Larrynaga, who was not home at the time, said he learned of the incident when a friend called him to warn him that someone might be trying to steal his tools. Larrynaga checked his security cameras and saw the disturbing scene on his phone.

“I felt outraged. I couldn’t even work properly that day because of the anger I felt,” Larrynaga told Local 10 News on Monday. “Our daughter is terrified. She doesn’t want to sleep alone.”

On Monday, police returned to Larrynaga’s home to speak with the victims. Although nothing was stolen, the family’s sense of security was shattered.

“It’s dangerous to have someone like that around,” said the girl’s mother, Ingris Hernandez.

Jail records show Perez Piloto faces four counts of voyeurism and a separate charge of burglary of an occupied dwelling.

According to his arrest report, Perez Piloto told authorities he went to the Hialeah Police Department after his wife saw a video of him on the news related to the incident. He explained that while working as a Lyft driver, he had stopped to urinate in a dark residential area at the time, according to the report.

Perez Piloto said he walked down a dark hallway and urinated near a window near a door, according to police.

The pilot told detectives he was trying to be discreet by looking around to make sure no one saw him, authorities said.

When a light came on, he said he walked to the back of the building, sat down in a chair and continued to urinate because someone had asked about his presence. He responded by saying he lived there, according to the report.

After finishing urinating, police said Perez Pilot walked back to his car and left the premises. He later admitted that he knew he had made a mistake by entering the property, according to police.

He also made a confession that was redacted in the report released publicly after he was taken into custody.

As of Wednesday, the Cuban citizen was being held at the Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center, where he was placed in judicial custody. His bail has not yet been set.
