ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — A 27-year-old man has been arrested after he was spotted shooting video up the skirts of a mother and her 10-year-old daughter at a graduation ceremony at UCF, police said.
Jesse Alan Wiggins, who also goes by Jesse Alan Willis, of Wildwood, was arrested Wednesday in Alachua County while at work in Gainesville.
Police said that on Friday, the mother noticed Wiggins with his arm extended down toward some steps, holding a cellphone with the camera facing up.
The woman was walking down the aisle with her daughter when she saw the incident. She alerted security, and UCFPD officers interviewed the woman and Wiggins.
"To victimize a child, the only word that comes to mind is, you're a pervert, pal, and you need to be held accountable," said UCF Police Chief Richard Beary.
Wiggins denied taking any photos or video and turned his phone over to police. A search warrant uncovered video shot up the dresses of the woman and her daughter, along with one additional video that day up the dress of an unidentified woman, police said.
Similar videos also were found on the phone, but the dates and locations are unknown, police said.
Police said Wiggins did delete some videos, but investigators were able to recover them.
"You know, in this day and age, it's very easy for people to use these things as a weapon or a crime tool, and it's just sad it happened here on a very momentous occasion," Beary said.
Police said they want to talk to another possible victim who is pictured below.
