According to the AJC, an Acworth man was recently arrested for taking an upskirt photo of a woman as she shopped at a Publix supermarket. The woman reportedly told officers that she noticed a “suspicious male taking a photograph with his phone, from underneath her dress.” She then contacted store management as the man left the Publix fast, quick and in a hurry! But, he wasn’t hard to find. The supermarket’s surveillance cameras captured the entire incident and police officers tracked him down soon after viewing the footage. He was arrested and charged with one count of use or installation of device to film underneath or through an individual’s clothing.
It’s not just happening at the Publix or in Acworth, an Alpharetta man was arrested back in April on the same charge after he was caught taking upskirt photos of customers at the Windward Chic-Fil-A, according to Patch.com, which covers news in the Alpharetta-Milton area. A witness reported seeing the man pretend to drop napkins on the floor as an excuse to take his phone out underneath a customer’s skirt. “The employee was up near the front counter while the victim was waiting to get her order,” Milton Police Capt. Charles Barstow said to the AJC. “He bent down to pick up what looked like some paper napkins, and then (the witness) observed him take his phone and slide it underneath the woman’s skirt.”
