VIDEO PERVS NOT BEING PROSECUTED
VIDEO voyeurs are getting away with "upskirting" - as only a few cases make it to court despite over 500 alleged crimes being reported in the last year.
Liam McArthur MSP has highlighted the low number of cases reaching court as the incidences of men using their mobile phones to film up under women's skirts continue to rise.
The Scottish Liberal Democrat justice spokesman made the call after a freedom of information request revealed that while 547 upskirting crimes were reported to the police in 202122, just 29 of them were subsequently reported to the Crown Office to be prosecuted further.
The Lib Dems had previously revealed between the law being introduced in 2010 and 2018, it had led to an average of just 3.5 prosecutions and 3.2 convictions per year.
