Creep.

[moonford]

Has anybody heard about this? If not let me fill you in.

This woman (Candice Spivey) encountered this man while shopping in the women aisles, he started asking her questions about an outfit for his 'wife' which led to inappropriate questions towards Candice making her feel uncomfortable so she reported him, 2 years later she encounters this same man in the same store and he repeats those same questions, Candice then takes her camera out without him noticing and films him until she later confronts him and chases him out of the store. (Which you can see in the video)


Side note - This man is named Jeffrey Polizzi and he was secretly recording both encounters! This same man was taking photos of women in 2009 and got charged, other women have also said he did the exact same thing as to them too. (He has been taking into custody since then and I really don't know anything else) This was in Yulee, Florida just in case you live near there keep yourself safe of he has been released and you have seen him since then.

And another thing, it really comes to show much the police care about the people in Florida, Candice reported this but they barely did anything. They didn't ban him from entering women's stores, women aisles in stores and so on, pathetic.

If you ever come across somebody who asks you inappropriate questions/follows you and so on do not hesitate to report it! You could be saving a lot of people including yourself, victims, prey and in some cases the hunter (who might have a problem...obviously)

Feel free to discuss your experiences with creeps like this and some advice if anybody else stumbles into a situation like this.

People like this are gross, tbh, but can they really ban him from women's stores or women's aisles in shops? Just being there isn't illegal in itself, but taking photos is a different matter entirely.

Regardless, its important to report stuff like this anyway because they can use it against him later on. Stay safe everybody c:

Ew I hope someone decks him

Stores and malls can ban people, I'm not sure how they'd go about getting multiple stores to do so but I'm sure there's a way

Banning people is something that is very hard to enforce. He probably won't stop until he serves time and/or has therapy.

 

[nintendofan85]

Oh God...
Why do people like this have to exist?

 

[Licorice]

He's such a loser lmao

 

[Bowie]

Too cowardly to even explain himself. Surely he knew he was in big trouble already.

Being in NYC, stuff like this, just while out walking around, is not uncommon.

I got approached on Thanksgiving while on my way to cook and eat with my friend. Broad daylight, big winter coat, baseball hat, no makeup - literally nothing for someone to pull the bull**** that I was "asking for it." Some guy approaches me, grabs me by the arm, and starts dragging me to the other end of the sidewalk (people around aren't doing anything and I'm pulling away) and he just says "what's your problem, I just wanted to ask where you're going" and I went off about how I'm meeting someone right around the corner (which is where my friend was) and that they were right there waiting for me with their boyfriend and he got angry that someone was expecting me, blew cigarette smoke in my face, called me a b****, and flung my arm out of his hand. My shoulder hurt the next day due to the force with which he pulled me (but I also have arthritis so it's easy for me to get sore).

The fact of the matter is that stuff like this happens so often and people, even random civilians, do nothing. The people who were walking around me, as it was a pretty nicely populated street, saw a man approach me and grab me and I was struggling to get away and basically yelling at him to let me go, making eye contact with strangers. Middle of the day.

All I think we can do is be vigilant and, as a citizen, if you see something like this do NOT just stand by and watch. Get someone if you can't intervene yourself, because it is so scary and mortifying to think that this guy could have easily kept pulling me and dragged me somewhere and everyone else would have stood by and not cared.

Just please care. And my heart goes out to this woman and other women that this man has approached and made uncomfortable. I pray that they don't have to constantly be on edge for stuff like this, but that's the world we live in right now and all we can do is do whatever is within our power to change it.

Yea, I was aware that the store could just ban him. Hopefully they do. It'd be difficult to put a blanket ban on women's stores and women's sections of stores in general though, as it'd be hard to keep enforcing.

I hate that the world we live in is full of people who just want to hurt other people. Something needs to change and just ignoring it won't make a difference. We need to start fixing our society by caring about other people and showing remorse, stepping up for each other. Things like that shouldn't be acceptable in this day and age but I believe we have the power to change it. Terribly sorry you had to go through that.

Since you already explained the details of the video, I went ahead and removed the video from the post. We do not allow censor bypassing here, and that also includes within the use of videos.

I've worked in mall before. It would be pretty easy. Most of the shops in the mall benefit from having similar rules, not competing too much with each other (after all, if they didn't cooperate the stores would just run each into the dirt fighting too much over sales.)

While it's not a crime to just be somewhere, a business should have the right to remove someone who is making multiple others uncomfortable to an extent. I definitely think in this instance the man should be banned.

The world is a pretty awful place, I know it's silly but I wear a safety pin when I go out just to show that I am there to help, because if I see someone being a creep I WILL go up and try my best to stop it. I've been through some stuff in the past and I don't want to see anybody else go through it, make me think of that What Would You Do? show where they set up all kinds of situations like people being attacked and abused, even kidnapped and just seeing HOW MANY PEOPLE just stood, looked, and kept walking it really hurts your heart. And most of the time, once ONE person is brave enough to do something other's will finally nut up and help out too. It sucks that we're such sheeple we have to wait for the go-ahead of someone else to do something to save another person. But for sure if I see someone in a situation like this, or showing any kind of abuse or anything towards another person you bet your butt I'll do what I need to do to help the victim.
