A man from
Somerset County has been indicted in a May 2021 incident in which
he allegedly took photos up the skirt of an underage girl at a Red
Bank car dealership.
The incident happened around 1 p.m.
on May 2, 2021. David M. Chapinski, 41, of Franklin, was arrested in
August 2021 following a monthslong investigation.
The Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office says the girl was at
Auto Exotica on Newman Springs Road with her parents and two siblings looking
at cars when Chapinski photographed her.
It’s not the first
time Chapinski has been accused of "upskirting." Authorities say
he was caught at an Edgewater supermarket in July 2021 doing the same thing. An
investigation a month later found 900 files of child porn on his computer,
according to investigators.
He was indicted on
two counts of manufacturing of child sexual abuse materials, two counts of endangering
the welfare of a child and invasion of privacy.
