A Morrisons supermarket butcher caught a pervert filming a female shopper’s thighs and knickers up the unsuspecting woman’s dress as she bent down for items in the store.
Romanian grandfather Marcel Cucuiat, 62, twice filmed three-second clips up the shopper’s flowery black dress, but continues to insist: “I don’t know why I did it.”
The driver, of Hay Drive, Mitcham pleaded guilty to an act of outraging public decency at the supermarket in nearby St. Mark’s Road on July 21.
Prosecutor Mr. George Crivelli told Wimbledon Magistrates Court: “The witness, David McFarland, a butcher at the supermarket sees the defendant following the victim.
“He is seen using his mobile phone to film up her skirt when she is bending down to pick-up items on the display unit and is seen doing this twice.
“She was completely unaware this filming was taking place and the butcher informed a security guard and they both approached the defendant and took his phone off him and escorted him to a rear office.
“They asked him to unlock the phone, which he did and they saw two videos on the phone, showing footage under the female’s skirt.”
Police were called and arrested Cucuiat, who simply replied: “I don’t know why I did it.”
Mr. Crivelli added: “The footage is about three seconds long each time and shows the dress the victim is wearing, black with flowers and you can seen her thighs and creme-coloured underwear.”
Cucuiat, who arrived in the UK in October, 2015 with his wife and daughter, was questioned at Sutton Police Station.
“He broke down in tears and said: ‘I don’t know why I did it.’ He said he had never done anything like this in his life.”
Cucuiat told the officers: “I only went to Morrisons to buy coffee. I saw this woman in a dress bending over and took out my phone, I don’t know why.
“I wanted to take a photo and did it twice. It was on the spur of the moment. I feel so embarrassed. I did try to apologise at the time, but they did not let me.”
Cucuiat told the court he had no social life in the UK, save for his wife and daughter, and left behind a large extended family in Romania.
He was fined £150, with £85 costs and ordered to pay a £30 victim surcharge.
