MARTINEZ — A San Ramon man has been charged with two misdemeanors for allegedly following a 14-year-old around a local Safeway and taking video of her as she shopped with her parents, court records show.
Masoud Kalhori, 70, was charged with two counts of annoying or molesting a child, both misdemeanors. The charges were filed Dec. 6, but related to alleged crimes that occurred this past April in San Ramon, according to police.
It all started on April 17 at around 1 p.m. inside the Safeway at 2505 San Ramon Valley Blvd. in San Ramon. The girl reportedly noticed Kalhori pointing his phone at her and notified her parents. Her father confronted Kalhori and called 911, authorities said.
When officers arrived, Kalhori admitted to filming the girl and said he films people because, “I like it,” authorities said. The officer found a 48-second video on Kalhori’s phone, which focused on the girl’s stomach and sweatpants, according to court records.
Kalhori was issued a citation with a court date. He entered a not guilty plea on Dec. 7.
