At least three women at an Arizona car wash were victimized in August by a man who hid under their car to stare at their feet.
Jesse Michael Johnson, 28, was caught on camera crawling under women’s cars as they were washing them at a Super Star Car Wash in Gilbert, Arizona.
Johnson has a history of similar crimes involving staring, touching or licking women’s feet for sexual pleasure, according to legal documents.
One car wash victim, Chanelle, told the story AZFamily: ‘I felt very violated and had nightmares.
“Going into the community and doing this to women is absolutely abhorrent and I don’t think he realizes what it does to us as victims.”

Chanelle stopped at the car wash, near Riggs Road and Val Vista Drive, before dropping her son off at school.
During surveillance video, Johnson’s head can be seen looking at Chanelle from the driver’s side of the car.
He quickly returned to his own car and pretended to be cleaning his tires. He was recorded doing this with three different women on August 29.
Investigators have described the incidents VOS10: ‘In these three incidents, the suspect drove next to the victim in a parking lot.

“While each victim was vacuuming her vehicle, the defendant hid under her SUV and spent several minutes underneath her vehicle.
“The defendant climbed out from under the vehicle once each victim was finished vacuuming and left the area.”
Car wash manager Reyes Brito told AZFamily: “That’s not okay. This is a place where you can wash your car. You have to feel safe.’
Johnson was arrested Tuesday on a $10,000 bond and is charged with three counts of voyeurism and three counts of disorderly conduct. Johnson is due back in court in early October.
But this isn’t the first time Johnson has been caught for his creepy actions.
In June 2016, Johnson was charged in Nebraska for touching women’s feet under their cars — reportedly the fourth time he did so in a year — and for touching a woman’s ankle in a supermarket, according to AZFamily.

According to previous court documents, Johnson has a foot fetish. The documents state that he told Nebraska police that he “is sexually attracted to women’s feet” and that he “cannot control his sexual desires about them.”
Chanelle told AZFamily: “All the victims were wearing flip-flops and shorts.”
She is still in shock and warned women to be alert in public. She said she probably wouldn’t have realized Johnson was under her car if another customer hadn’t pointed him out.
