A porn-addicted probation officer in Florida is facing charges after he was caught using his cellphone to record video beneath a woman’s dress at Walmart, police said.
Darius Brantley, a 29-year-old employee for the state’s Department of Juvenile Justice, was taken into custody Thursday after admitting to taking upskirt video at the store on Monday, according to an arrest report obtained by the Tampa Bay Times.
Brantley was caught on surveillance camera inside the Tampa store approaching a woman twice while using his phone to take video footage beneath her dress, police said.
Brantley and the woman then “looked eye to eye” with each other after she noticed him, she told police.
The woman then called police after Brantley left the Walmart and a loss prevention officer at the store jotted down his license, the newspaper reports.
Investigators on Thursday interviewed Brantley, who admitted to recording the woman while citing his pornography addiction as the reason behind the incident, according to the arrest report.
“At the time, he knew he was caught and walked away,” police wrote.
Brantley, who was charged with two counts of video voyeurism, was released from a Hillsborough County jail early Friday after posting $4,000 bail, records show.
His employment with the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice has been terminated, DJJ spokeswoman Molly Best told The Post Friday afternoon.
