Man booked with video voyeurism for taking cell phone photos underneath a woman’s dress while she was distracted

A New Orleans man was booked with video voyeurism, a felony, for taking cell phone photos underneath a woman’s dress as she was distracted, Sheriff James Pohlmann said.

Taza Green, 30, 3204 Boyd St., was arrested June 24 on a warrant signed by a judge. The incident happened June 23 in a building in Chalmette.

Green was booked into St. Bernard Parish Prison, appeared before a magistrate judge on June 27, and bond was set at $2,500. He posted bond and was released.

The woman had been on an elevator with Green and reported after they got off the elevator she felt the back of her dress being lifted, Sheriff Pohlmann said. As she turned around she saw Green had a cell phone in one hand, which he quickly concealed, the sheriff said.

Green left the building, got into a work truck with a business name on it, and drove off, the sheriff said.

Three video clips were retrieved from a surveillance camera in the building, which showed Green was standing to the side and just behind the woman, bent down, and using his cell phone it appeared he was taking several photos under her dress, the sheriff said.

Officers learned Green’s name after going to the Chalmette office of the business named on the work truck, where a supervisor identified Green through a photograph.

Detectives obtained a warrant from a judge and Green was arrested, the sheriff said.
