A girl in the United Kingdom put away a man who molested her thanks to the camera on her Nintendo DSi, using it to surreptiously capture his assault and force a confession.
John Fisher, 46, did admit to the abuse after his accuser (unnamed) snapped a picture of his hand groping her. Fisher’s going to prison for 3 1/2 years as a result.
The girl, now 11, said Fisher, as a family friend, had abused her since she was nine yet nothing had been done until she “had the presence of mind,” according to a prosecutor, to photograph him with the DSi. When the girl showed her mother the picture, she immediately contacted the cops. At first, Fisher denied the assault, but he admitted it when confronted with the picture.
A report by The Daily Mail says Fisher “admitted two offences of assault by penetration” over the past two years.
“[The victim’s] quick thinking in using her games console to take a photograph of him touching her,” said a police representative, “provided indisputable proof of what had happened and she was brave enough to come forward and report the incident and give us a full and accurate account of what had gone on.”
