ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — For the second time in just a few months, an 18-year-old man is accused of stalking and watching teenage girls.
Orange County sheriff's deputies said Thai Williams was caught on camera peeping into a teen girl's windows.
Deputies said Williams told them he "like the thrill of seeing the victims in the privacy of her bedroom behaving as if no one is watching."

WFTV reporter Deanna Allbrittin has been digging through Williams’ criminal history and spoke with an 18-year-old alleged victim and her mother.
They didn’t want to be interviewed on camera but said this has shaken them and made them feel unsafe in their own home.
They said they're glad Williams is being held at the Orange County Jail and they won't rest easy if he's allowed out.
Investigators said he entered a backyard on Larks Nest Court and went into an enclosed patio.
His arrest affidavit said the homeowner's camera showed him "use a chair from the victim to look in the windows of a neighbor’s house.”
The Sheriff's Office first "Responded on May 9th, but the suspect was gone,” according to the report.
The affidavit states the victim saw Williams looking in the window and she told an adult in the home, who saw him walking out of the neighbors' backyard and "stopped the defendant until deputies arrived."
As the judge assessed his arrest, she looked at why he was already out on bail.
Court records show deputies arrested Williams on seven counts of burglary, seven counts of voyeurism and one count of stalking in February.
That arrest was for several different incidents. He posted bail for his $39,000 bond the next day.
Williams is now back behind bars being held without bond at the Orange County Jail.
