1700 upskirting images of women!! . Yet women are continually lectured (including on here by various tedious posters) that men are no threat to women and in failing to share all our spaces with them we are simply man haters.

I thought the same re: women less likely to wear skirts in December and wondered if something was being covered up

Like when they bleep out swear words in songs on the radio. You wouldnt notice if it was left in but the big silent gap no matter how brief instantly draws attention to it

SarahTancredi · 18/07/2019 11:35

I know this is speculation and I will report my post to be delete if that's not allowed. but has anyone else thought of this too?

Yes. The way the whole thing was written it was as if something was deliberately left out there was a big hole where it should have been.

It doesn't say if this all happened in just the shop area, in toilets or changing room but I feel we are not getting the full picture from the article.
How many women and girls wear skirts and dresses in the UK in December? It seems likely to me some of these pictures must have been taken when women were undressing. I know this is speculation and I will report my post to be delete if that's not allowed. but has anyone else thought of this too?

I tried commenting on the Daily Mail article and pointing out Topshop are enabling this sort of behaviour by making female changing rooms unisex. They appear to be censoring such observations.

SarahTancredi · 18/07/2019 07:12

I'm starting to think it's safer to just go in men's toilets/changing rooms etc

Me too, most the perverts will be using the womens now. Of course no doubt we would be thrown out though. Mens spaces are always maintained and policed.

Everything going for him, privileged male with a golden future and he does this.

What goes on in their heads? Prison is all he deserves.

Oncewasblueandyellowtwo · 17/07/2019 23:57

All of this behaviour was during a short period over Christmas and he will now face professional disciplinary proceedings as a result of this conviction.
A short period were he managed to take 1700 photos.And during the Christmas period when so many women and girls are shopping for Christmas and at the sales after.
And yes those comments on the mail are disgusting. Fuck the whole lot of them.
Anyway nothing to see here,
THIS NEVER HAPPENS
THIS NEVER HAPPENS
THIS NEVER HAPPENS
Oh and if it does get over it you prude.

I've had a day like that too. Your post cheered me no end. Grin

Ticklemeelmo · 17/07/2019 20:57

I thought there would be comments underneath the article excusing it and I wasn't wrong. Just gross.

SunsetBeetch · 17/07/2019 18:26

Ugh, some of those comments! No it's not "harmless", you horrible men!!!

1700 pictures - so how many victims is that. It's one of the things that annoy me when people claim most men aren't dangerous. One man has multiple victims.

Thinking about it, of course Top Shop is an ideal place for someone like him to access women and girls trying on clothes - he would be able to freely access the changing rooms with no challenge?

He was apparently spotted by a Topshop store detective (well done that person for being on the ball).
I do wonder whether he had actually been in the changing rooms? It doesn't say that he was but I'm sure that TopShop would be reluctant to admit it if he was, given their 'open house' policy for any passing predators with regards to changing rooms.

Never happens etc etc etc.

It absolutely is predatory, wonder if the person who posted that comment would say the same if it was their teenage daughter. I fucking despair at the "no one was physically harmed so what's the problem" attitude.

I hope he gets a custodial sentence and I hope it gives Top Shop pause for reflection on their changing room policy where this kind of thing could have occurred unnoticed.

ginandbearit · 16/07/2019 18:54

That comment was probably from a transgenderist who would have been delighted with a snap of their ..er..accoutrements

RolyWatts · 16/07/2019 18:54

His uni and degree are relevant how? Oh that's right... It's to persuade the public that he's an alright guy really.

Apollo440 · 16/07/2019 18:52

There...tsk

Apollo440 · 16/07/2019 18:52

If this was the US their would be a class action law suite by the women who's privacy they enabled to be violated (and they were warned).

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 16/07/2019 18:49

Disgusting. Don't they think we're fully human?

ImpossibleNovelty · 16/07/2019 18:47

TurboTeddy I eye rolled so hard at that comment. Lots of Topshop customers will be young girls. Did she think of that and think they should also be ok with it? It’s utterly predatory.
