Irvine police are searching for a man who allegedly followed a woman through an H-Mart supermarket in California, taking what they describe as an upskirt photo without her knowledge. The incident occurred recently but the exact date has not been disclosed. As part of their #WantedWednesday campaign, officers released details and surveillance footage to identify the suspect, though no charges have yet been announced. Under California law, such actions can result in criminal penalties if proven.

Story summary
On Wednesday, October 7, the Irvine Police Department in California launched a #WantedWednesday campaign to seek public assistance in identifying a man suspected of secretly taking an upskirt photo of a woman at the H-Mart supermarket. The alleged incident occurred recently as the suspect followed a female customer through the store and took the photograph without her knowledge or consent. No specific date for the incident was provided, nor has any individual been publicly identified or charged yet. While California's Penal Code Section 647(j)(2) addresses certain forms of sexual offenses involving photography, it remains unclear if the image was distributed or if this is part of a pattern of behavior by the suspect.
