A man has become the first in the UK to be arrested over videos filmed of women on nights out without their consent, with some in vulnerable states.
The 27-year-old from Bradford was taken into custody on suspicion of stalking and harassment after reports of women being followed, filmed and harassed in Manchester city centre.
…
Though filming on a public street is not a crime, it can cross the line into harassment, and women who discovered they had been targeted were asked to report it to police.
Greater Manchester police (GMP) said they had received a number of reports and, while investigating, found more content locked under paywalled accounts, which included footage of suspected non-consensual nudity and upskirting.
The arrest is thought to be the first of its kind in the country linked with viral videos of women filmed on nights out, some of them while drunk or alone on the street.
Wait, how long has there been a weird squiggly thing in Exchange Square?
It’s an old picture. It shows a sign for the Triangle Shopping Centre, which hasn’t existed for ~10 years, if memory serves.
Huh. You must be right, but I don’t even remember that being there.
