Office life
It’s ok because women are Karens.
A former City bank worker took upskirt images of his female colleagues and covertly filmed them as they walked around the office, a court heard today.
Charles Sleilati, 53, made more than 300 videos of women he worked with at the leading bank, and also amassed around 1,000 images of random women in restaurants and on public transport.
Westminster magistrates court heard Sleilati was reported by whistleblowers within his Bishopsgate office, after concerns about his behaviour.
“The defendant was seen by other members of staff in an open-plan office taking pictures, filming up women’s skirts, and down their tops”, said prosecutor Komal Varsani.
He probably identifies as a porn producer. You have to respect his idenniny.
Sleilati, who has sought psychological help since his arrest, admits he videoed some of the victims under their desks, angling the camera to film up their skirts.
Never mind them. Imagine what he must have been going through – all that hard work to angle the camera just right, because those bitches wouldn’t just show him what he wanted to peer at.
I imagine the violation was the larger part of what he wanted. No fun if they consent.
My “England cultural translator” may be on the fritz, but am I correct that the article curiously doesn’t mention the name of the bank he worked at? It refers to him being a “City banker,” but that just means the City of London, and a “Bishopsgate office,” but that’s a neighborhood, right? Yet the article does name his current employer.
The omission strikes me as odd. It’s not clear when the bank learned of his actions, so it didn’t necessarily do anything wrong, but it seems to me like employers ought to fear the consequences of employing creeps.
I suppose it might be to protect the privacy of his victims?
Yes, Bishopsgate is a neighborhood, or sub-neighborhood – a tube stop at any rate.
The privacy explanation seems plausible.
Google maps shows me a slew of banks around Bishopsgate so yes that’s a very general way of locating it.
