“ (KSDK) - An Illinois man was charged with second-degree invasion of privacy after allegedly videotaping a woman at the St. Louis Zoo, police said. Roy Gallion, 48, was aiming a video camera up the skirt of 21-year-old Karen Simoncelli, while she was in the Charles H. Hoessle Herpetarium on Tuesday, police said. Gallion, 48, ran out of the herpetarium after he was confronted by Simoncelli, police said. Simoncelli, of St. Ann, Mo., and her mother notified a zoo ranger, who detained Gallion until police arrived. Police arrested Gallion and seized the video camera and seven tapes. Gallion had videotaped several other females, police said. In convicted, Gallion faces one day to one year in jail and a fine of up to $1,000.
