On August 16, 2013, the Defendant: (a) taken the Defendant’s cell phone from the subway train that moves from the independent text to the old wave, without permission, to create anxiety, such as creating a sense of shame and displeasure to the victim, by photographing the victim C with the Defendant’s cell phone.
