Creepshot Teens

Coweta County, Georgia’s high school substitute teacher stands accused of taking inappropriate photographs of female students at Coweta High and posting them to the voyeur subreddit “Creepshots,” an online forum dedicated to non-consensual non-consensual photos taken without consent of people dressed modestly, often depicting cleavage, legs or clothed private parts. These actions have caused outrage both online and off.

Creepshots forum users were shocked and outraged by photos posted of young girls, some underage, wearing dresses, skirts, or shorts and easily identifiable by faces and clothing. Other invasive shots showed them wearing only their underwear or zoomed in close on one’s genital area; yet others showed the buttocks or crotch area.

These photographs sexually exploit the girls without their knowledge or consent and turn them into pornographic material without their knowledge or consent. Not only is this behaviour creepy; it’s illegal as well.

The online community of voyeurs who create these photographs is small but potent. Not just sick individuals, these photographers form a networked collective known as ‘creepers’ that exchange tips on capturing the ideal shot and share the results on competing upskirt and creepshot sites – just like pervy subway commuters might.
