...this is incredible...yet another failure of justice for females...the ‘upskirting law’ only came into force a few years ago and the maximum sentence for more severe cases is 2yrs...this man filmed women getting undressed in their homes as well as one couple having sex...

...the judge said ...

“There was a significant degree of planning, in particular the use of the GoPro camera and adaptation of footwear enabling you to place it inside the footwear so it could be used.”


...one of the females was a 16yr old and after she alerted the police it was found that he had also taken more than 6,436 images of women over several months....the words of that poor teenager about the impact on her life...

“I have become so conscious of what I wear when I’m out and in the town and there’s other people around.”

She also said she feels “incredibly wary of middle-aged men that I can’t trust” and that she is “constantly looking over my shoulder”.

“I worry about who has those images and it gets me really anxious to think that I don’t know where they have gone,” she added.

“This has impacted on every aspect of my life and I’m now constantly anxious and worried about something happening.”


...how can this not be applied as a ‘severe case’ and the maximum sentence also having become applicable... ‘but he has shown remorse, pleaded guilty at the earliest opportunity and has “taken steps to address his offending behaviour”...’....he didn’t take steps to address his repeated and repeated offending behaviour almost 6500 times ...remorse is good going forward but it’s not justice for those repetitive offences committed against thousands of females...when is justice going to show a value to females in sexual offences...

..the story...

He's only sorry because he got caught, disgusting creep. Not shocked by the verdict but appalled

[Cherie]

what kind of mind does it take to put cameras on your shoes, I suppose it is the equivalent of peepholes in toilet cubicles

I think the "justice" system has proved mny times over that it doesn't care about sex crimes...

Though I swear I remember that under Theresa May the laws around it were tightened?

And I just can't understand why they don't? It's the most invasive and violating type of crime there is. I mean people feel violated when their houses or cars get burgled, I can't imagine how a person would feel in this situation, how unsafe and violated it would make you feel and then even more so in rapes or sexual abuse cases

Maximum sentence 2 years even for extreme cases is pitiful to begin with. But honestly, this kind of thing is expected now. The justice system does not tend to give a **** about women/girls, at all. The pitiful sentences given out are proof of that, along with how victims are treat in court to begin with.

Not just women and girls, as evidenced by the lack of punishment for female teachers who statutory rape male students. The system just clearly doesn't care about sexual assault in general...

A guy has just been found guilty of basically leaning on a guy who smashed a window of a car until police arrived, but he died
The guy got three years his mate who helped hold the guy down killed himself 3 days before the trial started

Another infuriating failure of the justice system when it comes to sexual crimes. The bastard had thousands of nonconsensual photos, he should have faced prison time.

[hijaxers]

Great another perv set free Unbelievable !!!!

[GiRTh]

Such a violation should receive some prison time.

[Alf]

Tabloid newspapers have done that for years.

There wasn't a day went by that the Daily Sport didn't have an upskirt shot of some celebrity.

I wouldn't hold your breath, not only are said gangs protected the system's indifference toward sexual abuse, but they also know any prosecution will probably be branded "racist" ...
