Accused Peeping Tom Taking Upskirt Photos Of Shopper Gets Beaten Up By Victim’s Boyfriend

There are other things a boyfriend can do beyond hold a purse: After a woman’s boyfriend saw another guy allegedly taking photos with his cell phone up her skirt while she was shopping at a Georgia store, he took matters into his own hands. As in, he started a fight with the accused peeper and restrained him until cops arrived.

While we aren’t in favor of vigilante justice, of course, the police say the avenging boyfriend did the right thing after he witnessed a fellow shopper putting his cell phone underneath the dress of the woman, who was shopping with a young girl, reports 11 Alive News.

The boyfriend then hit the suspect in the head and kicked him twice, then held him until a police officer arrived.

“He went to the rescue of his girlfriend…and he did the right thing,” the sheriff said.

He added that the suspect had confessed to peeping in the store, and called him self an “idiot” for “doing something stupid.”

Other customers were also in favor of the smackdown.

“I probably would have beat him a little more before the police got there,” said a fellow shopper.

The suspect is facing one felony count of eavesdropping and illegal surveillance. The sheriff says that since both the suspect and the victim had a young child with them during the incident, there could be additional charges.
