0 comments

Women are increasingly using mobile phones to tackle public abuse and harassment by taking photos of men who carry out gender-based crimes, sick according to change.org

For instance, sickness one young woman whose had her buttocks pinched while she was waiting for a train in Queens, New York, followed the groper onto the train and took a photo of him with her phone. 

The picture was posted to Crime Stoppers and used a few days later to accompany a brief article in the NY Daily News about the incident. The article led to the arrest of 44-year-old Javier Zempalteca last week on charges of third-degree sexual assault. 

Excellent outcome. Maybe this will make others think twice before harassing women in crowded public spaces (or anywhere else for that matter).
