TAMPA, Fla. -- A man accused of peeping at a woman in a Tampa area gym claims he didn't realize he'd gone into the women's locker room.

"I'm actually admitting I was in there. I made a mistake. I was just scared to come out," said Robert Johnson.

Investigators said Johnson ran out of the locker room when a woman spotted him and then he started lifting weights. The victim pointed him out to a deputy.

Gym officials said Johnson didn't have a membership and matched the description of a suspect in a similar incident reported the day before.
