NORTH HUNTINGDON, Pa. — A woman claims she went to a Verizon store to get her service transferred and an employee stole a nude photo right off her phone.
The former employee will be facing a judge this week for allegedly stealing a nude picture from a woman's phone while he worked as a solutions specialist inside a Verizon Store in North Huntingdon Township.
Police said William Hickman Jr. helped her at the counter and offered to transfer her data to save her fees.
The woman told police she checked her iCloud account when she got home and found out a nude photo was sent to an unknown number. The number turned out to be Hickman's cellphone, according to police.
