Mitchell Hirt (Brown Co. Jail)
GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – Charges were filed Friday against a man who admitted to peering into windows at two Suamico homes – saying the voyeuristic activity was sexual in nature – and that he has been recording video at multiple homes for several months, according to a criminal complaint. Additional victims have yet to be identified by police.
Mitchell Hirt, 25, is expected to make an initial court appearance Friday afternoon on eight charges, including three of stalking and five of invading privacy.
According to the criminal complaint, police were called to a Suamico home Monday after a woman noticed someone outside on their phone recording her.
After police located Hirt, a search warrant allowed an examination of his phone. Four videos were located, showing images from inside another Suamico home, following an 11-year girl and her mother.
Hirt told police he did not know the people he was recording.
“Hirt admitted that he has a pornography addiction. He stated that he watches porn where people video tape other people without their knowledge through their windows. He admitted that he got sexual gratification from watching that kind of pornography. Hirt stated that he started looking into windows and videotaping people because he wanted to see if he could get the same sexual gratification from doing that as he did when he watched the pornographic videos,” the complaint states.
After reviewing Hirt’s phone, police discovered other potential victims.
“Hirt admitted to videotaping several people without their knowledge but could not tell me how many people he videotaped. He stated that he started videotaping people in early November 2024. He stated that he stopped for about one month but then started up again,” the complaint states. “In Hirt’s phone there are several videos where he is looking through someone’s window. I have not identified the locations and the people in the videos yet.”
