Miami, Florida state prosecutor Helen Page Schwartz caught a man using his cellphone to take an upskirt video of her as the two rode an escalator in the Miami-Dade County Courthouse building Thursday morning, according to Miami Herald reporter David Ovalle who posted about the incident on Twitter. (Ovalle is covering the Stand Your Ground Hearing for Mexican soap opera star Pablo Lyle in the road rage death of a man earlier this year in Miami.)

Schwartz confronted the man who responded by calling her a ‘cracker ass bitch’ and threatened to press charges against her before storming off.

Ovalle spoke to Schwartz who told him she would not press charges against the man because she did not want to get police involved. Ovalle notes that video voyeurism is a crime–indeed under Florida law it is a felony.

“Drama! Prosecutor Helen Page Schwartz caught a guy filming up her skirt with his phone on the escalator. She angrily confronted him, and it turned into a huge shouting match on the six floor.”

“I don’t like cracker ass bitches!” he was yelling out. “I’m fitting to a put a charge on you.” “So right ahead,” she yelled back. He stormed off before anything came of it. Miami.”

“Video voyeurism, of course, is a chargeable offense. Helen didn’t want to get cops involved, but she was OK with me tweeting about it. She refused to back down from the man, who stormed down the escalator”

Excerpt from Florida law 810.145 - Video voyeurism:

…A person commits the offense of video voyeurism if that person: …For the amusement, entertainment, sexual arousal, gratification, or profit of oneself or another, or on behalf of oneself or another, intentionally uses an imaging device to secretly view, broadcast, or record under or through the clothing being worn by another person, without that person’s knowledge and consent, for the purpose of viewing the body of, or the undergarments worn by, that person. …(b) A person who is 19 years of age or older and who violates this section commits a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084. (7) A person who violates this section and who has previously been convicted of or adjudicated delinquent for any violation of this section commits a felony of the second degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.

Incredible that a prosecutor would allow a racist felon to get away with a sex crime against her–in the courthouse–to prey on more women. He should have been arrested on the spot and his phone taken into evidence to check if there are more victims of this pervert.
