SUGAR LAND, Texas -- A Sugar Land mother said she believes a 39-year-old man was looking at her two young daughters through a bent mini-blind in the closed blinds covering the window in their room, KPRC Local 2 reported Sunday.
On Thursday morning, Sugar Land police arrested now former Garcia Middle School Assistant Principal Jon Jeffrey Jones and charged him with disorderly conduct.
After the arrest, Capt. Gary Cox said Jones said, "He indicated that he had watched a woman there, at the house, get dressed."
But the mother who lives in the home said he could not have been watching her get dressed. She said she wakes up and gets dressed an hour before a neighbor said he spotted the man outside her home at 6 a.m.
The mother said she believes the man was looking into the room that her 7- and 11-year-old daughters share. She said her daughters would have been getting dressed at about the time Jones was allegedly peeping inside.
The mother, who asked not to be identified, said, "Your natural instinct is you want to protect your children, and it made me feel very vulnerable and it made me feel like my children were violated. I was violated, but especially my children. They're innocent. They're young. They're in elementary school."
No one answered the door at Jones' Sugar Land home. A woman leaving the home did not stop to answer questions.
A spokesperson for the Fort Bend Independent School District said Jones resigned Friday. He had been with the district for 17 years, including three as assistant principal.
