A 42-year-old man is facing multiple voyeurism charges and more are expected in Calgary’s so-called ‘Canada Creep’ investigation.
The man’s name will be released once charges are formally made and Calgary Police say he’s currently facing voyeurism-related charges in relation to three incidents, however more charges are anticipated.
The account – which has since been deleted by Twitter – showed ‘upskirting’ videos, which is when a camera is positioned underneath a woman’s skirt without her knowledge, as well as images and videos from change rooms.
Calgary Police started an investigation on Monday after it became aware of the account and the arrest was made Tuesday around 5 p.m., without incident.
The suspect was identified through a public tip and other cyber-investigative effort and officers also seized computers, hard drives and other devices from a home in Prestwick.
Investigators are currently analyzing multiple terabytes of data, including hundreds of thousands of images, along with identifying victims.
Police will be holding a news conference at 3 p.m. on Wednesday.
