Man sought for taking photos under teen’s skirt

Authorities are looking for a man they say took photos under the skirt of a 14-year-old girl this afternoon at Wal-Mart.

The Collier County Sheriff’s Office said the girl was inside Wal-Mart, 3451 U.S. 41 East, at about 1 p.m. with her siblings and mother. One of the younger siblings saw a man taking photos of the girl with his camera phone, authorities said.

The Sheriff’s Office said the man was taking photos under the skirt of the girl by standing behind her and putting the phone close to the floor.

When the younger sibling noticed the man, authorities said he smiled, closed the phone and walked away.

The man was described as white, in his late 20s or early 30s, about 5-feet-7-inches tall with a medium build and bushy, dirty blond hair. He was described as having a big nose and wearing a blue shirt and a baseball cap.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Sheriff's Office at 793-9300.
