Malden Dollar Tree employee accused of taking upskirt photos

MALDEN, Mass. — An employee at the Dollar Tree store in Malden was arrested Wednesday after allegedly taking a picture up a woman's skirt while she shopped.

Police tell FOX25 that the woman noticed 29-year-old Christopher Molina allegedly taking the pictures.

A person who saw the arrest told FOX25 Molina is a manager at the store and had exhibited strange behavior in the past.

Customers at the store told FOX25 they're shocked by the behavior.

"I think it's awful. It's something that makes us feel unsafe to come here," said Rejane Demusis, who had been at the store with her daughter.

Police have collected video from inside the store and Molina's phone as part of the investigation.

Molina made his first court appearance Thursday, and FOX25 was there as he was released without bail. He is ordered to stay away from the store, the victim, and the witness.

In cstody, Molina denied the claim and said he called police because the women were yelling at him.

Molina is scheduled to make his next court appearance next month.
