Target has been warned many times that bad things could happen if it persists on implementing its transgender bathroom and dressing policy. But the retail giant remained firm on its decision to let customers use the facilities based on their preferred gender.
Now, Target might come to regret its decision after a 22-year-old man was arrested and charged with violation of privacy last week after he reportedly took a video of underage girls while they were inside a Target changing room.
The incident allegedly took place at a New Hampshire Target store on June 22, according to Life Site News. The man arrested was identified as Zachary Bishop of Raymond, New Hampshire.
After he was caught filming the underage girls, Bishop immediately fled the Target store before police could apprehend him. However, Bishop seemed to have a change of heart since he later turned himself in after police issued a warrant for his arrest.
Bishop is not the only one caught taking advantage of Target's pro-LGBT bathroom policy to commit indecent acts. A transgender woman from Idaho Falls was also arrested after she took photos of a woman who was trying on clothes inside a Target dressing room in Ammon, Idaho on Monday, according to Snopes.
The victim caught the woman reaching over the wall with a cellphone, so she confronted her. Guilty, the transgender woman fled the store on foot but was eventually apprehended.
A Bonneville County Sheriff's Office news release reads, "Detectives were able to review witness information and security footage from Target that led them to come in contact with 43-year-old Sean Patrick Smith, who also identifies as Shauna Patricia Smith, a transgender female."
