Brian Whitehead, charged with photographing under a woman’s skirt, claimed ‘Maybe I was trying to light a fart’
Whitehead, hailing from Bristol UK, who faced accusations of attempting to photograph under a woman’s skirt suggested that perhaps he was aiming to “light her fart” instead.
CCTV captured the 39-year-old entering a bar last September, during which he allegedly placed an unidentified object beneath the woman’s skirt.
While prosecutors asserted that he attempted to take a photo, police reported that Whitehead remarked to them, “Maybe I was trying to light a fart. It could have been a joke. Maybe someone says ‘I bet you a fiver if you light her fart.'”
In court during his trial, Whitehead maintained that he was merely joking, yet he also denied ever placing a camera under the woman’s skirt.
Regardless, he was found guilty of outraging public decency this past week and is scheduled for sentencing on June 27.
