Richard Scott Campbell - Repeat Sex Offender - Making Up-skirt shots at Wal-Mart

A New Kent County resident who is on the state's sex-offender registry faces a court hearing next month for a sex-offense charge in Henrico County.

Police say Richard Scott Campbell, 41, snapped unauthorized pictures June 9 at a Wal-Mart in the 7900 block of Brook Road in Henrico. Police say he used his cell phone to snap pictures up a woman's skirt.

The woman noticed Campbell when she turned away from a clearance display of cosmetics, authorities said.

"Mr. Campbell was kneeling down holding his cell phone under the victim's skirt taking pictures," according to a search warrant.

She followed him to the parking lot and took down his license plate information, then notified authorities.

According to state police, Campbell has three convictions for indecent exposure, the most recent in Chesterfield County in April 2001. Those convictions have made him a registered sex offender.

He is due in Henrico court July 21 for a preliminary hearing.
