“I see a lot of videos on there of other people, other girls, and then I tried to grab his phone and he immediately, you know, pushed my arm and grabbed it, and then he started walking away,” Geisel said.
“It’s not that he was just filming people, he filmed her inappropriately and zoomed in on parts of her body.”
Mullholland attempted to flee the scene, but Geisel followed him and told him not to move. “Take another video of an underage girl,” she warned, telling him, “Go the fuck away.”
