The post, which she has backed up with a shot of the police leaflet she received with her incident number, prompted several others to discuss their experiences of being harassed or assaulted.

In England and Wales, taking ‘upskirt’ photographs is not currently a sexual offence, though may fall under public decency laws in some cases – which relies upon others bearing witness – or potentially voyeurism, though this is far less likely given voyeurism applies to private acts (say, getting changed in a changing room) rather than being in a public place and someone taking a picture from a certain angle. In Scotland, upskirting falls under voyeurism as the definition was extended to cover non-consensual recording of images taken beneath clothing. In the US, the law differs from state to state.
