Two men—both named Edgar!—were arrested for taking upskirt photos of random women last week, thus highlighting one of the lesser-known dangers of summer in the city.
Edgar Guncay allegedly snapped three cellphone pictures under a woman's dress in Union Square before a cop caught him "salivating" over the shots and arrested him. A few hours later, Edgar Castro allegedly put a camera underneath a woman's skirt in Times Square and recorded the image before a cop stopped him, too. Both men were charged with unlawful surveillance. And while the Edgars are undoubtedly total creeps, at least they weren't as tech-savvy as this perv. (And seriously, if you see or experience harassment like this, say something.)
