The father told

he was doing his 15-year-old boy's laundry at his Grandview Heights home when he discovered a memory card from a camera

he plugged it into a computer, he found several pictures and videos of women in the neighborhood inside their home. Some were in states of undress.
The pictures were taken from outside the house as the camera peered into their windows

"I'm ashamed. I feel like I have failed as a parent," the parent, whose identity was kept anonymous
[...]
"There were a few that were dressed, and there were quite a few where the women were not dressed at all."
[...]
I, as a parent, cannot do what's wrong to try to cover up something my son did that was wrong.

statement from the Grandview Heights police department says a suspect has been identified in the act of voyeurism and at least two victims that were "surreptitiously recorded in various states of nudity."
"It was just feelings of disgust flowing through me, like why would somebody do this to another human being?"

The son was confronted by the parent and he confessed.
His dad then decided to involve police in the matter.
"He has to, I guess, face the consequences for his actions. There's no ifs, ands or buts about it,"

"I, as a parent, cannot do what's wrong to try to cover up something my son did that was wrong. I have to do what's right, regardless."

said he loved his son unconditionally, but "that love is not going to override the fact that he needs to pay for what he did."
Police are now searching the boy's electronics to determine if there are other images.
"I can imagine there's probably going to be a lot of people in the area that are now going to be looking out their windows and wondering is somebody standing out there and I feel horrible,"
