FEDERAL WAY -- A 33-year-old registered sex offender from Bremerton has been arrested for allegedly taking pictures of young teenage girls' crotch areas and filming up women's skirts at the Wild Waves theme park, court documents showed Tuesday.

Duane J. DeJesus was arrested at the theme park Saturday when a patron alerted security that a man was using his cell phone to surreptitiously take photos of the crotches of girls aged 13-16.

"Security attempted to contact DeJesus and he ducked into a gift shop," the court documents say. "DeJesus willingly let security look at his phone and security saw video of DeJesus filming up women's skirts.

"Post Miranda, DeJesus admitted taking videos and pictures of girls and women for sexual gratification and the he is in counseling for his problem," the documents say.

DeJesus was arrested on suspicion of voyeurism and posted $10,000 bail. He is to appear in King County Superior Court in Kent on Wednesday.
