ST. LOUIS COUNTY, Mo. – St. Louis County prosecutors on Tuesday called out a peeping Tom suspect they say has been breaking his house arrest rules.

Suraj S. Shah, 41, was ordered back to court to explain dozens of reported house arrest violations. He was charged with invasion of privacy in 2024 after police say he took pictures and videos of nude women in their homes. It’s alleged he did it while roaming his old Chesterfield neighborhood, which surrounds the Four Seasons Country Club.

“Based on our charges, it is our belief that Mr. Shah is a danger to the community,” St. Louis County Prosecutor Melissa Price Smith said.

Smith said they fought against Shah being released on bond in the first place. Shah is also accused in a second case of sodomy involving an unconscious woman.

“We watch closely, and we get alerts, and—in this case—our assistant prosecuting attorney was very diligent—Kiersten Heiman—she got an alert that he had violated his electronic home detention 23 times,” Smith said.

Prosecutors filed a motion to revoke bond, in response. It lists 23 alleged violations from March 8 to March 27, violations of what’s called “electronic home detention.” Shah was reportedly tracked to a tanning salon, golf course, several restaurants, and a brewery.

“He needs to be confined,” Smith said.

Judge Ellen Sue Levy read through each reported violation as defendant Shah looked on without protest. She ordered him to be taken into custody with no bond as his attorney considers filing a new motion and they await another hearing next month.

“The judge took it seriously. The judge agreed Mr. Shah had not followed the conditions of his bond and [it] should be revoked,” Smith said.

Shah was taken into custody and unavailable to comment. His attorney declined to talk about his cases.
