Police were told by the woman’s former roommate confirmed the account belonged to the same man whose name was found as a result of the Snapchat screenshot. The witness also confirmed that the video appeared to have been taken from outside the victim’s window.

The incident was reported in May, but authorities suppressed the court document to avoid hampering the investigation. The sworn statement was made public Friday. Police have asked for a search warrant for the Snapchat information. No charges have been filed.
