Man Arrested for Secretly Filming Under Women's Skirts on Bangkok MRT
A 57-year-old man was arrested at Bangkok's Bang Khae MRT station after being caught filming under a woman's skirt; police found videos of approximately 30 women on his phone.
At 8:40 a.m. on July 20, 2025, officers from Phetchkasem and Lak Song police stations arrested Jaruun, also known as Ja, age 57, at the up escalator of Bang Khae MRT station in Bangkok. The arrest came after a woman reported that a man had used his phone to film under her skirt while she was ascending the stairs. A fellow commuter had alerted her to the suspicious behavior and pointed out the offender.
When the victim confronted the man and asked to see his phone, he refused and security was called. Police arrived and apprehended the suspect. A search of his phone revealed multiple hidden-camera videos, including footage of the victim and approximately 29 other women. Under questioning, the suspect confessed to habitually filming women under their skirts in public places. He admitted that after recording, he would use the videos for sexual gratification before deleting them. Police charged him with sexual harassment and are pursuing further prosecution.
