Man Drilled Peepholes In Malvern Target Dressing Rooms: Report

MALVERN, PA — A Chester County man is facing charges after he allegedly drilled holes in the dressing rooms of Target stores in Malvern and Montgomery County to take pictures of dozens of women, according to court documents and media reports.

An investigation revealed that Sean Anderson, 41, of Elverson, took photos of dozens of women as well as underage girls. Charges of child pornography and invasion of privacy were filed this week.

Anderson was originally arrested back on May 15 for criminal mischief and related counts.

Loss prevention officers at a Montgomery County Target became aware of Anderson after they noticed the holes kept reappearing after the store would cover them up, an NBC10 report states.

Officers eventually caught Anderson in West Pottsgrove after noticing him going in and out of numerous dressing rooms. After detaining Anderson, officers reportedly discovered a drill bit and tweezers hidden in sweatpants inside one of the rooms.

Of the 56 images found on Anderson's phone, 12 of them portrayed topless women, one was completely naked, and six were underage girls either partially or totally undressed, according to the report.

The investigation is ongoing.

Anderson posted $50,000 bail on Tuesday, court documents show. His preliminary hearing is set for June 21.
