Subway pervert arrested in Madrid after upskirting more than 500 women
- Police say they caught him filming on Metro after allegedly uploading videos for a year
Police in Madrid have arrested a man accused of filming the intimate parts of more than 500 women without their consent while they travelled on the Metro.
The accused made the videos, a practice known as upskirting, using a mobile phone concealed in a backpack.
Police say he then uploaded at least 283 of these videos on to pornographic sites where they were viewed millions of times.
Police have identified 555 victims, some of them underage.
The man is alleged to have been filming on a daily basis since at least the summer of 2018 when he first published the material.
Police say he operated near local railway stations and supermarkets. He apparently then followed his victims and even introduced himself in an effort to get closer and obtain better-quality images.
