A US man was arrested after a teenage girl saw him staring up at her from a cesspit below a toilet seat.
Police pulled the 45-year-old from the waste tank under a public toilet at a beauty spot in Albany, New Hampshire.
Captain Jon Hebert, of the Carroll County Sheriff's Department, said firefighters hosed the man down before police handcuffed him.
"We had to decontaminate him. We treated him as if he were hazardous material," he told the Union Leader.
"I started this business in 1980, and I have never in my career encountered anybody in this type of situation."
The man, from Gardiner, Maine, was arrested in the White Mountain National Forest after the 14-year-old girl's parents called the police.
Police said the door to the waste tank was locked so he must have gone in through the toilet. He was wearing waders.
Police charged the man with criminal trespass, and say he could face more charges.
