Substitute teacher took a picture of my 13-year-old....not sure how to handle this

My DD, who just turned 13, came home from school yesterday and mentioned -- in passing -- that a substitute teacher (from another class -- not her sub) stopped her in the hallway & asked to take a cell phone picture of her & a friend.   He said they 'reminded him of _______' (my DD had no idea who he was talking about).

We live in a very small town (1700 people), but I don't know this man.   He subs at the middle school on a regular basis, and was also one of the refs at her basketball game on Tuesday.

I am honestly not sure how to handle this.   On one hand, I think it's incredibly inappropriate for a grown man to take a picture of a couple of middle-school aged girls.   On the other, it may have been completely innocent, and I would hate to get the man in trouble.

That is the way I've been leaning.  I know the principal well -- I could certainly mention it to him and get his opinion (guessing he knows this teacher).

I'd say something to the school. That's pretty weird.

I'd say something for sure. That's kind of weird.

I would report it to the school. He should not be taking pictures of 13 year old girls for any reason at all. better safe than sorry in this situation.
