Formal charges of burglary and video voyeurism have been filed against a Naples man in a case involving a shadowy figure holding a cellphone at a bathroom window.

The figure that cast the shadow was identified by the Lee County Sheriff's Office as Philipas Christos Batsios, 40, of Naples. Batsios was arrested in early May.

Friday the charges were formally filed and a pre-trial conference set for July 20 in Lee County court.

The woman said she was washing her hair inside a glass shower enclosure in her Bonita Bay home on March 29 and was startled when she saw a cellphone pointed at her and the shadow of an arm in the window of her bathroom. The woman said the arm vanished when she screamed.

A sheriff's office report said the woman climbed into a tub to look out the window and saw a man running away. She told deputies that the man looked back and he had short facial hair, appeared "scruffy" and then got into a marked Pinch A Penny pool service vehicle and drove off.

The woman went next door, but the neighbors were away. She did find a cleaning ticket at their pool with the name "Phil" on the bottom.

The woman said that she and the neighbor contract with Pinch A Penny for pool servicing,

Service truck GPS and cellphone records from Pinch A Penny, confirmed Batsios was assigned to the Bonita Bay route that day.

Checking the GPS records detectives found that most of Batsios' stops at the Bonita Bay community were of short duration. However, a stop near the location of the incident was 23 minutes long, four times longer than the other stops, and no other Pinch A Penny trucks were in the area during that time, the sheriff's report said.
