A Paterson man is facing multiple criminal charges after police say he secretly watched women in a Willowbrook Mall fitting room before allegedly recording and inappropriately touching a juvenile girl inside a movie theater later that evening.
According to the Wayne Police Department, Officer Anthony Halko was alerted to an incident at approximately 8:20 p.m. on May 24 involving a suspected “peeping Tom” inside the Urban Planet store at Willowbrook Mall.
Mall security personnel were searching for a man accused of spying on two women inside a changing room when officers were dispatched to a separate report involving a man who allegedly touched a juvenile female without her consent inside the Cinemark theater located on mall property.
Officers Anthony Halko, Harrison Kirby, and Luke Mol responded to the theater, where they met with the victims and Willowbrook Mall security officers.
The women involved in the Urban Planet incident told police they noticed a man standing unusually close to them before entering an adjacent fitting room.
While they were changing clothes, one of the women observed the man lying on the floor and peering underneath the partition separating the stalls.
She also reported that the man was shirtless at the time.
In the second incident, two juvenile females told officers they were purchasing movie tickets when a man approached and began asking what film they planned to watch.
The girls said the same man later sat directly next to one of them inside the theater.
According to police, the juvenile observed the man recording her with a cellphone while concealing his groin area beneath a sweatshirt.
She reported that one of his hands remained under the sweatshirt and was moving rhythmically. The suspect then allegedly reached over and touched her thigh.
The girls immediately left the theater and alerted employees, prompting a police response.
Officers entered the theater and located a man matching descriptions provided by victims in both incidents.
Police said the suspect was seated with a sweatshirt positioned as described by the juveniles and had to pull up his pants when ordered to stand and exit the theater.
The suspect, identified as 45-year-old Alcorey Maggette of Paterson, allegedly admitted he had been inside Urban Planet before going to the theater. 
Police said all four victims positively identified him as the individual involved in the incidents.
Maggette was arrested and charged with two counts of invasion of privacy, criminal explicit contact, endangering the welfare of a child, and harassment.
He was subsequently transported to the Passaic County Jail Intake Hub, where he remains pending a detention hearing.
