Target's fitting room policy results in another female victim

Tuesday, January 21, 2020

Dear John,

AFA has learned of another sexual assault against a female Target shopper – this time in Texas.

A Texas woman filed a report with the Harris County Sheriff's office after a man entered the women's fitting room area and took pictures of her as she was changing clothes.

The woman said she noticed that a cell phone camera was being held and pointed right at her from under the fitting room door.

"It's an invasion of privacy. I feel like no one should go through that. It was horrifying," she told television news station KTRK.

What's also disturbing is that Target refused to allow the woman to view the store's surveillance tape of the incident. Only after the sheriff's office became involved did Target release the video.

Ironically, Target gave the same talking points it gives every time something like this happens ... Target claims that "the safety of our guests and team members is our top priority."

The dozens of recorded sexual assaults on women in Target's fitting rooms and restrooms are almost 100% preventable. Apparently, Target's "top priority" is to allow men to continue entering women's fitting rooms and restrooms. So in this case, the man who got away is free to return to the store and commit the crime again.
