By Karen Morfitt

DENVER (CBS4) - Court documents reveal new details about how investigators tracked down a man accused of taking photos up a woman's skirt.

Jacob Magee, 33, is charged with invasion of privacy for sexual gratification. Police identified Magee as the man in a Metro Denver Crime Stoppers alert released in early November.

Magee is accused of using his cellphone to snap photos up a woman's skirt during the Denver Broncos game on Oct. 30 against the San Diego Chargers.

According to Magee's arrest paperwork, the woman caught him in the act. When she and her husband confronted him, he ran off.

Video cameras at Sports Authority Field at Mile High captured the entire incident, including a clear picture of the suspect's distinctive blade-type prosthetic leg.

Stadium security crews continued to scan through their surveillance and spotted Magee a second time, trying to re-enter the stadium.

Court documents say by checking on scanned and re-scanned tickets, stadium security was able to identify a ticket number and locate the owner, who pointed investigators to their suspect.

A background search shows Magee has a history of similar encounters, including a peeping tom conviction in 2012 that landed him on the Colorado Sex Offender Registry.

Magee is currently out on a $2,000 bond and will be back in court in December.
