| Student at Thunderbird H.S. in Phoenix accused of filming under girls' clothes - AZFamily Posted: 18 Feb 2020 12:31 PM PST  PHOENIX (3TV/CBS5) -- A student at Thunderbird High School in Phoenix is accused of secretly videotaping underneath the clothing of his female classmates. Austin Roberts, 18, faces one felony count surreptitious photographing or videotaping. [VIDEO: First court appearance for high school student accused of filming up classmates' skirts] The investigation began back in December, when Roberts' classmates noticed what was allegedly happening and contacted staffers. The assistant principal then went to Roberts' classroom and seized his phone. According to the police report, Roberts admitted "he had a video on his phone that was inappropriate." The victim said she was not seeking prosecution; she just wanted the video to be deleted. When the assistant principal deleted the video in question, he went to the phone's "deleted file" to make sure the video was completely gone. But, in the deleted file, "he observed a large amount of other videos that the defendant took of other females at the school," according to the police report. "Many of the videos were of the defendant placing his phone up the skirts of the females." The assistant principal confiscated the phone and contacted the school resource officer. Roberts was suspended from school and sent home with his mother. The phone was turned over to police, who say that a forensic download of the contents of the phone turned up "multiple videos of the defendant following females around the school, in classrooms, in the hallway and on the staircase." "He would turn his camera phone video recorder on and position the phone up under their skirts in order to videotape their [private parts,]" stated the police report. Police say they found videos of approximately seven different females. Three of them were identified as students, and told police "they never gave the defendant permission to videotape them under their skirts." All three say they desired prosecution. Roberts was booked into the Fourth Avenue Jail in Phoenix.  |
| Posted: 19 Feb 2020 11:38 AM PST  More than a century later, research shows that physical appearance remains a point of intense scrutiny for female political candidates, while the looks or dress of their male peers are scarcely factored into their potential. Women running for office say they often feel pressure to look the part lest they not be taken seriously. But the expense and upkeep of a professional wardrobe can be a barrier for many. That's why workwear retailer M.M. LaFleur is now offering to lend clothing to female candidates this election season. "A lot of women can't afford to buy the kinds of clothes that people expect of candidates," said company co-founder Sarah LaFleur. "If it's in any way a hurdle for these women, it brings me such joy that we can help alleviate that problem." In an email to customers this week, LaFleur said that interested candidates could contact the company with their credentials, including name, location and description of the office they're running for, to receive five outfits selected for them by M.M. LaFleur stylists. The company has received more than 550 responses from women in state, local and federal races, and an outpouring of support from customers about the program. "In my day job, I'm a professional firefighter, as well as a mother of four. My dress consists of either a blue uniform and turnouts, or jeans and a T-shirt," one candidate wrote to M.M. LaFleur. "I can't even begin to tell you how stressful the "how to dress" piece of running for office has been!" Puzzling through the public's demands of what a trustworthy, professional woman ought to look like is an almost impossible task, said Susan Scafidi, academic director of the Fashion Law Institute at Fordham University. Standards for men's professional wardrobe have barely changed in the past century; for women, professional fashion is a moving target. They're expected to wear jackets that square their shoulders (without looking too masculine), skirts that are neither too long nor too short, unless they opt for trousers (which raise questions of formality) and blouses that are flattering without being revealing. "There's never a set of safe choices for women because the expectations and messaging around clothing is constantly evolving," Scafidi said. "Female political candidates have an even greater challenge, needing to appear on camera in different outfits without appearing to spend too much on clothes, whatever amount that might be, and thus having their ability to balance budgets called into question." LaFleur's company was born out of frustrations about the time and resources required for women to keep up a professional appearance. After years of working in private equity and management consulting, LaFleur said she was exhausted and annoyed by the effort required to search for sharp, appropriate work clothes. In 2011, she launched M.M. LaFleur with Miyako Nakamura — the former chief designer at Zac Posen — with the mission "to take the work out of dressing for work." The two built an online brand of unfussy, smart workwear meant to appeal to women of all ages and body types, from wrinkle-resistant suits to basic shift dresses and machine-washable work pants. Tops start at $75 and it best-selling pants retails for $195. Investors were skeptical that women would pay hundreds of dollars for workwear basics, LaFleur said, and that they'd want to buy these things online instead of in traditional brick-and-mortar stores. But M.M. LaFleur's performance has proved otherwise: The first pair of pants the brand designed sold out in two hours, and one basic black wrap dress racked up a 1,600-person wait list. The company has dressed Cynthia Nixon, the "Sex and The City" star who ran for governor of New York, and Rep. Stephanie Murphy (D-Fla.). Now LaFleur hopes its wears will help hundreds more on the campaign trail. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) applauded M.M. LaFleur's offer on Instagram earlier this week, noting that she relied on hand-me-downs from friends before she was sworn in. "When I was running for office (even now!), accessing clothing for the job was a challenge both logistically and financially," Ocasio-Cortez wrote. "As a candidate, a large part of asking people to vote for you is helping them visualize you on the job. As a member, that professionalism helps you challenge subconscious bias." The freshmen women of Congress (the most female and diverse group ever) have inspired discussions about red lipstick, hoop earrings and ethnic garb — topics that occasionally have overshadowed their actual platforms and ideas. Conservative critic Eddie Scarry of the Washington Examiner caused a stir when he tweeted a picture of Ocasio-Cortez in 2018, suggesting her clothes were too nice for her working-class background. He deleted it after it sparked backlash.
"If I walked into Congress wearing a sack, they would laugh & take a picture of my backside," Ocasio-Cortez tweeted in response. "If I walk in with my best sale-rack clothes, they laugh and take a picture of my backside."  |
