I’m sorry for your experience. I hope you never have to go through that again.
Massachusetts is the state where upskirting was ruled legal in a court of law. Needless to say, they changed the law, but as this story covers, the current law has a loophole in it in that there must be a reasonable chance someone cannot see up or down the clothing.
Starred to bring out of the greys.
Someone coming at you, yelling and making it clear they might be out for some kind of vengeance, is pretty much a reasonable fear of serious bodily harm.

Except that following a specific person to film them without their permission can be stalking, easily. Why? Because a number of women fell victim to guys doing exactly what the woman in this story did in response to something a woman did that either they didn’t like or turned them on.
So she responded to what amounts to sexual assault with stalking and harassment...
