Liverpool Lime Street upskirting: British Transport Police want to speak to this man after woman is targeted on platform
A woman was “upskirted” as she waited at a busy mainline railway station.
Police have now released this picture of a man they want to talk to about the incident.
Upskirting is when someone tries to take a picture or video under someone's clothing without their consent to see their genitals, buttocks, or underwear. It is a form of sexual abuse intended to cause humiliation, distress, or sexual gratification and is punishable by up to two years in prison - and offenders may also be placed on the sex offenders' register.
This happened at Liverpool Lime Street railway station at about 10.10am on Saturday, August 16. A woman was waiting on platform 7 to get on her train when she was upskirted.
A British Transport Police statement said: “Officers believe the man in the image may have information which could assist their investigation.”
