Skirting around the issue
On an otherwise ordinary day in Greenville, North Carolina, a woman took a trip to her local Target. She noticed a 21-year-old man getting a little too close for comfort — crouching down on the ground near her.
When she moved, so did the man. Then she noticed his cell phone on the floor. That’s when it clicked: She was wearing a skirt that day, and this creep was trying to slide his phone underneath to get a photo.
Caught red-handed
Another Target shopper spotted the creep, too. She started filming the peeper after noticing him following the victim around the store. She captured him putting his phone on the floor and posted it to social media.
Ultimately, that video is what led to the peeper’s arrest.
Of course, when the cops picked him up, he denied it all and gladly handed over his phone. Authorities got a search warrant to dig deeper, and fortunately, they didn’t find any inappropriate photos of children.
The peeper was released on bond, and his fate now rests in the courts. He also won’t return to his job anytime soon. Where’d he work, you ask? An elementary school.

For $20, you can soon watch brand new movies at home
One of the most depressing parts of the COVID-19 pandemic has been the lack of entertainment and recreational options for those of us stuck at home. Sure, we have Netflix to binge and video games to play, but there haven’t been very many “new” releases — especially when it comes to movies.
