TORONTO

Toronto Police have laid an additional charge against a man who was accused last week of using a concealed camera to look up women’s skirts at the CNE.

Police charged Daniel Adler, 28, with a second count of obstructing or resisting a police officer, alleging that an attempt was made to destroy evidence.

According to police, a man allegedly concealed a video camera inside a white stuffed toy owl and recorded up women’s skirts.

Adler, a law graduate and former managing editor of the Osgoode Hall Law Journal, was arrested on Aug. 25 and charged with secretly observing or recording a person expecting privacy, obstructing or resisting a peace officer, and other offences.

Det. Rod Damaso said the original charge of obstructing or resisting a peace officer was laid after a video card was allegedly swallowed when police confronted Adler at the CNE.

Domaso alleged that an effort was made to damage the video card “when it finally passed through.”

“So that necessitated the additional charge,” Damaso alleged.
