Target Policy Helps Man Exploit 6 Young Girls
Target Policy Helps Man Exploit 6 Young Girls
By Tim Wildmon
It happened again. Target’s dangerous policy of allowing men to enter women’s dressing rooms has resulted in possible sexual crimes against female customers – both women and underage girls.
In May, Sean Anderson was allegedly arrested for taking pictures of undressed females after drilling holes in women’s dressing rooms in several Target stores in Pennsylvania.
After his arrest, police searched through Anderson’s phone and found 56 images of women, 12 of whom were without tops and one who was completely unclothed. They also found six images of young girls who were either partially or totally undressed, investigators said.
Here’s the rub. Anderson allegedly drilled the holes on a prior visit. Target knew the holes were in the dressing rooms and knew that these holes allowed for “Peeping Toms” to spy on women undressing. Rather than protecting female customers by prohibiting men from the area, Target merely plugged the holes and continued to let men enter without restriction.
With something as simple as a ballpoint pen, Anderson returned and pushed the plugs out of the holes and used his phone’s camera to continue his disgusting crime of violating the privacy of Target’s female customers over and over again.
Target had the ability to completely prevent this type of crime, yet it didn’t. Target still has the ability to prevent this type of crime 100% of the time, yet it won’t.
The bottom line is this: people who shop at Target and use its restrooms or dressing rooms are at risk for sexual exploitation.
There are still people you know who are unfamiliar with Target’s dangerous policy. Will you help spread the warning and let your family and friends know about the Target boycott?
