Video voyeurs are getting away with “upskirting” offences in Scotland with few cases making it to court despite over 500 alleged crimes being reported to the police in the last year.
Liam McArthur MSP has highlighted how only five per cent of cases reach court as the incidences of men using their mobile phones to film up under women’s skirts continue to rise.
The Scottish Liberal Democrat justice spokesman made the call after a freedom of information request revealed that while 547 upskirting crimes were reported to the police in 2021-22, just 29 of them were subsequently reported to the Crown Office.
