Man Acquitted of Invasion of Privacy After Taking Photo Up a Woman's Skirt

A judge in Pennsylvania ruled Wednesday that a Virginia man did not violate the state's privacy laws when he snapped a revealing picture up a woman's skirt. The case stems from an August 2004 incident at Capital City Mall where Robert Sullivan, 41, of Alexandria, Va., came up behind a woman, bent down and used the camera in a cell phone to take a picture. The man was found guilty of disorderly conduct.
