Stephen McIntire

The Bath Police Department is asking for the public’s assistance in locating a convicted sex offender police say was caught on camera peeking through a dormitory window on the Hyde School campus recently.

Bath police announced in a press release issued Tuesday that they are seeking Stephen McIntire, 54, who is a convicted sex offender who has failed to meet his registration requirements since August. McIntire is also suspected of committing criminal trespass as well as violation of privacy, which is Maine’s “Peeping Tom” law. 

In late October and early November the Bath Police Department responded to the Hyde School Campus on multiple occasions for reports of an adult male looking in dormitory windows. On one of these occasions a hidden video camera captured images of the man as he peered into one of the windows. The man was subsequently identified by police as Stephen McIntire.

The Bath Police Department’s Detective Division has obtained a warrant for McIntire’s arrest for failure to comply with the sex offender notification act, violation of privacy and criminal trespass.

McIntire was convicted for a 1997 gross sexual assault and in 2004 for violation of privacy. McIntire is listed as a lifetime registrant on the Maine Sex Offender Registry. For more information about the conviction visit http://sor.informe.org.

The Bath Police Department is asking anyone with information on Stephen McIntire’s location to contact the Bath Police Department Detective Division at 443-8367.
