CHARGES FILED IN
VIDEO PEEPING CASE
Denver District
Attorney Bill Ritter, Jr. filed charges today against a man
accused of looking underneath women’s skirts and dresses with a
video camera.
Yamil Yapor
(DOB: 8-31-63) is charged with endangering public
transportation (F3) and unlawful sexual contact (M1).
On June 26, 2003 a
citizen approached a Denver police officer on routine patrol
along the 16th Street Mall to report seeing a man
holding a video camera at street level who appeared to be
videotaping up women’s skirts and dresses. Police later found a
man matching the suspect’s description. The investigation
revealed that as many as 15 women may have unknowingly been
videotaped, many as they rode on the mall’s free shuttle. Yamil
Yapor was arrested yesterday, July 15, 2003 and was formally
charged today.
He has been released
on $10,000 bond and is scheduled to appear in Denver County
Court on Tuesday, July 29, 2003 at 9:00 a.m. in room 12T to be
advised of the charges.
