One morning in August, an unidentified 28-year-old woman who caught a man taking cellphone photos up her skirt as she climbed the subway stairs decided to retaliate. “Since he is taking pictures of me, I am going to take pictures of him,” she tells the Times. She followed him onto the 1 train and told him to smile as she took his picture, because she intended to call the police. Fast-forward to Tuesday, when an NYPD officer approached a man matching the photograph. It was one Aaron Olivieri, age 36. He told the cop, “I hope I am not the person you are looking for,” and then admitted he knew why police were looking for him. He was arraigned Wednesday on misdemeanor charges of unlawful surveillance, attempted sexual abuse and harassment. The Times article also gives a shout-out to Holla Back, a blog where women share their horrible experiences with perverted men in New York, a city that seems to be crawling with 'em.
