First UK Arrest Made Over Non-Consensual Filming of Women on Nights Out

A 27-year-old man from Bradford is in custody after viral videos allegedly depicting harassment and upskirting were uncovered in Manchester.

Greater Manchester Police arrested a man on suspicion of stalking and harassment related to viral videos of women filmed without consent during nights out in Manchester.
The videos, some posted publicly and others behind a paywall, reportedly include non-consensual nudity, upskirting, and footage of women in vulnerable positions.
This marks the first known arrest in the UK linked to social media trends involving the non-consensual filming of women in public spaces.
Police emphasized that while filming in public is generally legal, it becomes a crime when tied to offenses such as stalking, harassment, or upskirting.
Authorities are urging any individuals affected by the videos to come forward as investigations continue.
