TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — A man was caught using a pinhole camera in his shoe to capture video footage under women’s skirts yesterday afternoon (Nov. 11) at an Eslite Bookstore in Taipei’s Xinyi District, reported Apple Daily.
At 5 p.m. yesterday on the third floor of the Eslite Xinyi Store, a 33-year-old man surnamed Chien (簡) was arrested by police after he had been spotted by a bystander extending his foot beneath a woman to capture video under her skirt with a tiny camera hidden in his shoe.
After an initial investigation, police said that Chien, who is single and unmarried, had noticed many attractive young women frequent Taipei’s trendy Xinyi District and he chose the Eslite Xinyi branch as a prime location to secretly film them. He claimed that this was his first time to try “upskirting” or taking unauthorized photographs and video under a woman’s skirt.
Chien was seen wearing a black shirt, gray pants, black shoes, and a black baseball cap, which was lowered to obscure his face. To avoid attracting attention, he wandered in an out of the 3rd floor while waiting for the opportunity to sneak videos. [FULL STORY]
