Upskirting conviction

Sorry for the fail link - the gist is that the man was convicted even though the "victim", i.e. the women he was photographing, made no complaint. Made me think about the use of the term victim in that context - hence the quotation marks. In a sense we are all victims of that kind of offence because of the complete disregard for women that it perpetuates, which is why it's quite right that he should be convicted. I do indeed feel that my sense of public decency has been outraged!

He also says it was a "joke he shared with his girlfriend"! She must be mortified.

He has teenage daughters. Amazing how people can compartmentalise things - I'm assuming of course that he'd be furious if this happened to them. Maybe he'd just think it was a harmless joke.

Good to see this taken seriously

And yes, would be interested to know what he’d think if a man did this to one of his daughters

What a scumbag pervert.
Poor woman. Glad others reported him, that's encouraging.
How can anyone find it to be 'joke' material?
Wonder what his wife and daughters think.

Yes, it is encouraging that others called the police.

The report says he took one picture, looked at and then took two more. Hard to do that without anyone noticing so he must have thought no one would care.

He is or was head of an HR department. I hope he is sacked.

Marguerita Agree, he should definitely lose his job. Imagine knowing that the head of HR had that kind of conviction. Also stick him on the register. For life.

Good news, he did lose his job (person who sent me the link originally used to work there).

It was on the news that upskirting is increasing and people sharing pictures and comments. Wonder how they would like it done to their daughter or mum?
