WORLD : Bagman’s Camera Too Candid
A 41-year-old Tokyo office worker was arrested for covertly videotaping a woman’s underwear while she was shopping, police said today.
The man was arrested Saturday after the woman’s boyfriend found him with a video camera hidden in a bag set on the floor with the lens pointing up, they said.
Police said they later seized from the man’s home six hours of videotapes that consisted mainly of pictures of women’s underwear.
They quoted the man as saying: “I took the pictures in various places in Tokyo and just enjoyed them by myself.”
The man faces a maximum fine of $65 if charged and convicted of being a public nuisance.
