Apparently this is one of the first convictions of this kind. The perp was caught red handed by a cop.
Do you think this will put people off upskirting? I'd like to hope so but doubt it, as it's an easy crime to get away with, especially as many victims are unaware what has happened at the time; and I'd bet many of the creeps doing this would see it as a victimless crime. A voyeur who targeted a friend of mine certainly thought so and showed no remorse even when he was being set down and his career was in ruins). This guy just got unlucky because he did it in front of a an off duty cop who was on the ball.
