Camera Phone Nabs Perv on NYC Subway
In New York City, a subway pervert has been nailed thanks to a camera phone, reports Switched.
"Jay Arungah is accused of exposing himself and molesting a 30-year-old woman on New York's B and Q subway lines. According to the victim, Arungah stared at her before exposing himself and lighting a cigarette. When she moved, Arungah followed. When the victim tried to escape at the next station, he pressed himself against her.
When the woman was finally able to escape the train, Arungah followed her. She reached a phone and dialed 911, but not before pulling out her camera phone and snapping a photo of Arungah. When police arrived, Arungah was arrested.
.. New York has just introduced a so called 'Peeping Tome Law' that would make leering sexually at another person a crime punishable by up to 90 days in jail and a $500 fine. "
