MONTREAL — A 53-year-old man appeared in court on Tuesday to face charges of sexual voyeurism in the so-called “Fairview Mall Peeping Tom” case.
The alleged incident dates back to September, when 17-year-old Matthew Tod was using the Sears’ washrooms in the Fairview Pointe-Claire shopping mall on the way home from his grandmother’s house.
He didn’t think making a quick stop at the would become such a terrifying experience.
“He went into the next stall and put his hand over, and that’s when he took a picture with his phone.”
