Woman files suit against cop caught while peeping
An off-duty police lieutenant who was caught peeping into a Hawaii Kai woman's bedroom July 31 faces a lawsuit filed by the woman.Katherine Frame, a flight attendant, filed suit yesterday in Circuit Court against Craig Clissold, claiming he invaded her privacy and caused her emotional distress. Frame has suffered from fear, anxiety and humiliation over the incident, the suit said.
Clissold pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor charge of invasion of privacy and was sentenced last month to a one-year term similar to probation.
Clissold, who lives seven doors away, claimed he was relieving himself. However, a witness told police Clissold was in the yard and peeping in Frame's bedroom window just before 1 a.m.
Clissold declined comment on the suit.
