Overview
- The incident took place on Monday, 22 June, aboard Regionalexpress 89 from Augsburg to Munich when a 57-year-old man allegedly filmed under the skirt of a 28-year-old woman.
- A fellow passenger noticed the act, recorded it on her mobile phone, and gave the footage to the victim at the scene.
- When the victim confronted the man he apologized, deleted recordings from his phone, and showed a US driver’s license as identification.
- The 28-year-old later filed a complaint with the Bundespolizei in Munich and officers opened an investigation for the offence called "Verletzung des Intimbereichs durch Bildaufnahmen," which covers covert image capture of intimate areas; no arrest has been reported.
- The case highlights how civilian video can shape evidence on public transport and may affect how police handle privacy violations and prevention on regional trains.
