Overview
- Pontevedra officers on retail patrol spotted a man tailing women in short skirts with a plastic bag concealing a phone positioned near their buttocks.
- After discreet surveillance, police intercepted him and seized the prepared bag with the mobile phone still recording, then detained him for a crime against intimacy.
- The Pontevedra arrest followed observations that he repeated the method across shops and even changed clothing to avoid detection.
- In a separate Madrid case, a man allegedly recorded sexual encounters with a hidden camera, edited the footage to hide his identity, and uploaded the videos to an internet forum.
- Madrid investigators opened the case in January 2025, searched the suspect’s home on December 3, seized videos plus a phone and hard drive, and arrested him on nine counts of discovery and revelation of secrets.
