Former Comcast VP Took 'Upskirt' Videos On Train: Cops

TREDYFFRIN, PA -- A former executive Vice President of Comcast used his cell phone to take “upskirt” videos of women on the Paoli-Thorndale line and at his workplace.

Michael Tighe, 56, of the Wayne section of the township, has pleaded guilty to misdemeanor possession of an instrument of crime, involving the use of his cell phone camera for criminal ends, according to a report.

Tighe was named as a “rising star” at Comcast in 2014 by Fierce Telecom. He was in charge of data services.

He was originally arrested on September 18, 2015 and charged with the more severe infraction of invasion of privacy, according to the Tredyffrin Township police.

The incident occurred at the Strafford Train Station just before 8:30 a.m.

Tighe was waiting to board the train when another passenger caught him in the act of “upskirting,” according to the Daily Local News.

The passenger called him out, and Tighe then tried to flee, throwing his phone into the woods and running from the scene.

Police arrived and promptly took Tighe into custody and recovered the phone.

A number of upskirt videos were discovered on the phone, some taken on the Paoli-Thorndale Line, and others taken at Comcast Center in Center City.

Tighe was reportedly fired after his arrest. The phone he used to take the upskirt videos was owned by Comcast.

As part of his plea agreement, Tighe is reportedly not allowed to ride the SEPTA regional rail, is under court-supervised probation for two years, and must undergo a variety of examinations.
