The truth finally becomes apparent as she notices that her trusted neighbor and good friend seems to know some very intimate details about her, leading Susan to wonder if it is just her imagination or simply paranoia.
Video Voyeur: The Susan Wilson Story is based on the shocking video voyeurism crime that occurred in Susan Wilson's home in Monroe, Louisiana, in the late 1990s and early 2000s. That's when Susan Wilson discovered that Steven W. Glover, a man in her neighborhood, was secretly videotaping footage of her and her family, according to ABC News.
Susan began to suspect Steven Glover after he made certain comments about private matters that had happened or been discussed in the privacy of her home. Her fears were confirmed when she went to his home and found a videotape of her bedroom.
Steven W. Glover had taped the family while they were in the bathroom and while Susan made love to her husband. Glover also watched as family members interacted with one another and had private conversations.

After Steven W. Glover was arrested, Susan was shocked to learn that secretly taping someone without their knowledge was not unlawful or prosecutable.
Susan Wilson set out to change Louisiana videotaping laws. The Video Voyeurism Protection Act was finally passed, making it a federal crime, according to CBS.
