ITHACA, N.Y. (WETM) — An Ithaca man is facing charges for allegedly performing sexually explicit acts outside young women’s windows earlier this month.
Floyd G. Slater Jr., 32, was arrested after police searched his home. According to the Ithaca Police Department, IPD officers and New York State Troopers executed a search warrant on Slater’s Slaterville Road home on Sept. 19 following a joint investigation into two incidents that reportedly occurred in Ithaca two weeks prior.
Authorities say Slater allegedly performed lewd acts outside two college-aged women’s windows on University Avenue and Delaware Avenue on Sept. 5. The women, who didn’t know each other or Slater, made similar complaints at about 9 p.m. and 10 p.m. that night.

The New York State Police processed Slater on the charges of first-degree attempted sex abuse, third-degree menacing, and public lewdness. Slater was then arraigned in Tompkins County CAP Court and held without bail.
The Cornell University Police Department and the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision assisted the Ithaca Police Department and the New York State Police Department with this investigation.
