The female victim told police that she was home alone the evening of Aug. 16 when she heard floorboards squeaking outside her bedroom at roughly 11:45 p.m. When she opened her bedroom door, she described “immediately,” seeing a man, approximately 40 to 60 years old wearing a black shirt, pants, gloves and a ski mask.

The victim said the man proceeded to point a knife in her direction and repeatedly say, “I’m not going to hurt you, you just need to do what I tell you to do,” the affidavit states.

The man then told the victim to take her clothes off and began touching her inappropriately. He then ordered her to get onto her bed, and she refused, the victim told police the man appeared, “confused (as to why) she didn’t like him touching her.”

The victim explained to the man that she would not become aroused, as she was afraid for her life.

The man then told the suspect that he was going to leave, and took her cellphone on his way out.

“The suspect then climbed out the same window he entered through, placed the cell phone on a ledge, and left through the backyard,” the affidavit states.

The neighbor observed a man matching Deck’s description enter a fenced area around the side-yard of the residence, and activate a motion censored light on the property.

“The motion light turned on, and the male left the area,” records state.

The first woman states that when she checked the camera, she observed a man wearing all black and a ski mask and peering through an adjacent window.

According to arrest records, the couch where the victims were sitting was visible through the window where the suspect was standing.

“(the victim) stated that the suspect back was to the camera, and she believed based on his body positioning and hand placement that he may have been masturbating,” arrest records state.

The two-woman remained in the bathroom until police arrived on the scene.
