I would like to respond to the email regarding this incident. Lake Miona staff was approached by two females that there was an alleged male in the women’s restroom shower. When staff was notified they went to the parking lot to see if there was anyone that met the description. Staff then went to get additional details from the two females who reported the incident. As soon as staff went to get more details from the two females, they had left the facility without providing any additional details or their names or contact info to staff. Staff notified the manager of the incident who called 911. Sumter County Sheriff’s Department responded and filed a police report. As of today’s date there are no other details or confirmation regarding the two residents or the alleged male. If any new details are provided, we will communicate this information to the proper authorities. Recreation Staff, Community Watch and Sumter County Sheriff’s Department have all been made aware of alleged incident and concern by our residents. We will continue to monitor our facilities. We encourage residents to notify recreation staff, community watch or 911 if they need assistance. If I can be of any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact me.
John B. Rohan
Director of Recreation

I am the Village Resident who was showering alone at Lake Miona after pickleball. This is what happened. I draped my towel and clothing over the top of the shower rod. Someone flicked the shower lights on and off. I said, "Hello" to let the individual know I was in the shower. When there was no response, I turned to view the shower curtain. On the side of the shower entrance, opposite where the light switch is located, I saw a hand slowly moving the shower curtain, I assumed to look into the shower area. I was naked and vulnerable but I quickly grabbed the shower curtain and stuck my head out to see a man who appeared to be in his 20s, with olive skin, about 5'9", medium build, wearing what appeared to be a uniform. I believe the slacks were gray with an open-collar, short-sleeved, button shirt. He was heading toward the exit when I said, "Don't look in here." He said, "I thought it was the men's room." He did not exit but turned left into the women's restroom.
I reported the incident to the monitor who was entering the pool.
I told my pickleball buddies of my experience. Yesterday, 9/30/10, one of my pball buddies told me to check-out Talk of The Villages to see that someone else had a similar experience. I wondered if it were my experiece, somewhat embellished.
Today, 10/1/10, I returned to Lake Miona Recreation Center to learn what, if anything, had been done regarding the incident. The gal at the front desk took me to the manager's office. The manager said that a police report was made. I gave the manager my name and phone number. She said she would give it to the police.
I am waiting for the police to contact me.
