Man took woman's phone, sent himself personal pictures without consent: Police

TREDYFFRIN TWP., Pennsylvania (WPVI) -- Police in Tredyffrin Township, Pennsylvania are investigating after a man allegedly took a woman's phone and sent himself personal images and videos without her consent.

According to police, Justin Stewart Wilson is charged with unlawful use of a computer, criminal use of a communication facility, and invasion of privacy in connection with an incident in Devon on February 12.

Wilson approached the woman at a Target store and, after engaging in casual conversation, asked for her phone to connect with her on social media, police said.

"Eventually their conversation turned to him asking her if he could friend her on social media. She gave him her phone for him to type in his social media information, which is what she thought she was doing," said Tyler Moyer, a lieutenant with Tredyffrin Township Police.

While he had her phone, police said Wilson sent himself personal images and videos that were sexual in nature to himself without her permission.

"She noticed when she got her phone back, she saw that he had sent these videos and pictures via text," said Moyer.

Police were able to track down the number and arrest the 32-year-old from Clifton Heights. Upper Merion police said he is charged for a similar incident with a woman last month near the King of Prussia Mall.

Police said they are getting the word out because they believe there could be more victims.

The investigation is ongoing and police believe there may be additional victims. Anyone with information is asked to call Det. Mike Cermignano at 610-408-3651.
