Police Arrest City Employee Who Allegedly Snapped Upskirt Photos of Woman at Rego Park Mall

Police have arrested a city employee who allegedly took photos up a woman’s skirt at a Rego Park shopping center earlier this week.

Eduardo Pinzon, a 42-year-old employee with the city’s Department of Environmental Protection, was arrested at around 4 p.m. today by officers of the 112th Precinct, an NYPD spokesperson said. He was charged with unlawful surveillance to the second degree.

Tinzon allegedly used his cellphone to take upskirt photos of 26-year-old Edjelyn Gamboa, who was shopping at Burlington Coat Factory at around 6 p.m. on July 30.

Gamboa told CBS News that she felt something brush up against her leg while looking through clothes in one of the aisles.

“I saw a light went off, a man behind me, and he’s holding his phone on camera mode,” she said.

Gamboa took to Reddit to post a surveillance video of the incident on Wednesday, where a man is seen crouching down and with his back to her, with his phone under her skirt.

“I just felt violated,” Gamboa said.

Gamboa and her sister confronted the man, who said he didn’t do anything, but left the store when the two went to check out surveillance footage. They managed to snap a clear photo of his face, however.

“I just hate the feeling,” Gamboa said. “We’re women, and simply wearing skirts doesn’t give them a pass to harass us.”

What a jerk. Maybe the City can convert Rikers into a Perv Colony for all of the gross little people like this.

I apologize for my intolerance, but these folks deserve each other.
