Today, we alerted you to the absolutely fkn horrifying story in which a young woman named Tegan Portener noticed a man on a NSW train filming up her shorts. She confronted the man, then outed him by posting the video to Facebook, where it understandably went viral.
A few short hours later, NSW Police posted a notice to their Facebook page, saying that the man had been found and charged – plus, they’d confiscated his computer and multiple hard drives.
A man has been charged after allegedly filming a woman on a Newcastle bound train last week. About 10.30am on Thursday…

Hopefully this acts as a subtle yet effective PSA to every person who denies the existence of rape culture in Western society – it exists, and it’s dangerous, scary, and women have to deal with it every single damn day of their lives.
