Exclusive figures obtained by Sky News show 1,150 upskirting crimes have been recorded since 2019, with 40% of victims being children - some as young as three years old.
Jolene Russell was 15 years old when a boy in her class sat next to her and took photographs under her skirt.
Jolene's mother Candice-Marie informed the school that her daughter believed she had been a victim of upskirting - the practice of taking a photo or a video underneath someone's clothing without their knowledge for sexual gratification. Candice-Marie took matters into her own hands and called the police. The teenager was arrested and given a caution.At a festival in 2017, a man stuck his hands between Gina Martin's legs and took a photograph, inadvertently beginning a campaign that would eventually see upskirting made a criminal offence.
This data was revealed after Sky News submitted freedom of information requests to the 43 police forces in England and Wales - 39 responded.
