A 71-year-old drama professor at Green River Community College tried to get video of a young woman changing, but was caught after she found the camera and video of him placing it in the drama department's dressing room, police say.

The professor, who has taught at the college since 1967, was arrested for investigation of voyeurism and made his first court appearance Friday afternoon in Kent. He has been released from jail on personal recognizance and ordered not to have contact with the young woman. The professor has not been charged.

Seattlepi.com does not typically name suspects until they've been charged. Charges may be filed early next week.

The drama professor, who is married, asked the student if she would be interviewed for an article in the school newspaper. He advised that there would be photographs, "and he wanted her to try on different dresses to see which one she should wear to the interview," Auburn Detective Aaron Williams wrote in a probable-cause document.

4. When I see ages like his (e.g., an old woman caught shoplifting), I wonder about Alzheimer's or

age-related personality change.
