UTICA (WWJ) -- A man in Utica already convicted of a sex crime allegedly became a repeat offender last week.
Convicted sex offender Kristopher Murray is accused of taking photos of a teenager in a fitting room at Plato's Closet on Hall Road in Utica on Wednesday.
According to police, the 38-year-old was in the room next to the teen when he allegedly stuck a phone under the door, seemingly in an attempt to take photos of her changing.
The girl told officials that she saw the phone and covered it, but then saw it again.
At that point, she alerted her mother, who confronted Murray before calling the police.
Authorities say that Murray appeared to have two phones on him -- one he gave to police, and another that contained the photos he took.
Utica Police Detective Sgt. Greg Morabito said Murray will be charged with surveilling an unclothed person.
The Macomb County man was also caught and convicted in February of last year for taking photos up the skirt of a teenage girl at Somerset Mall in Troy.
