A woman confronted a man after Oregon deputies say she noticed he was secretly recording her change inside a dressing room.

The woman told deputies she was in a dressing room stall inside a Clackamas County store on Jan. 30 “when she noticed a bag on the floor with a hole cut in it,” the Clackamas County Sheriff’s Office said in a Feb. 27 news release.

She saw a camera lens inside the bag and realized a man in the stall beside hers was using the camera to photograph her as she changed, the woman told deputies.

After leaving the dressing room, she approached the man and “took photos and video of him as he exited the store carrying the suspicious bag,” deputies said.

Now, after reviewing the store’s surveillance video, deputies said they want to talk with the man.

Deputies are looking to the public for help identifying the man, adding that “they are also looking for any possible additional victims.”

The man is described as being in his 30s and has a beard, according to deputies. At the time of the incident, he was “wearing a black hat, blue jeans and a white/olive-colored jacket.”

Anyone with information is asked to call deputies at 503-723-4949.

Clackamas County is about a 50-mile drive southeast from Portland.
