Moved to a new city and lived with a roommate for a few months

This happened a few years ago so I (then 35M) moved to a new city for work and found an apartment with a 30F. Since I wouldn’t have the opportunity to visit the city and look for an apartment, I did everything virtually and had “met” the roommate through Facebook video chat.

She was pretty cute and we had friended each other on Facebook and build some trust before I moved. Fast forward a couple of months and I moved into the apartment. The roommate also had cats that mostly kept to themselves.

We got a new internet service and she mentions that she can’t use the webcam to connect to the WiFi (she used the cam to look over the cats when she was out). I told her I could help her and tried to hook up the webcam app to the WiFi. I wasn’t able to do it on her phone at first so tried it on mine. I downloaded the app and then was able to connect. I changed the password and then magically she was able to connect on her side.

Fast forward a few days and I am in my room early morning and I could hear her going into the shared bathroom. About 20 minutes go by and I could hear her bedroom door shut. I am looking at my phone and I see an app I don’t recognize so I click on it and it turns out to be the webcam app. I could see the video of her bedroom. She then walks right in front of the camera and I think I’m caught but she proceeds to take off the towel and stand in front of the camera naked for a couple of minutes before getting dressed.

I knew it was wrong but I couldn’t stop watching. I did this one more time the next day but she kept eyeing the webcam so I don’t know if there’s some indicator that it’s on.

I still think about this from time to time.
