A man had hundreds of videos of men on his phone that he had recorded in public toilets without them knowing.
A serial voyeur caught filming men using public toilets again has been given his ‘last chance’ by a judge.
The man, from Salford, walked free from court today (August 21) despite a ‘string’ of previous convictions for the same offence.
Manchester Crown Court heard Grace had hundreds of videos on his phone he had recorded in public toilets. The 54-year-old had been issued an anti-social behaviour order (ASBO) 10 years ago following one of his voyeurism convictions – but carried on regardless as he ‘could not control himself’.
The guy was arrested at Manchester Airport on May 15 this year, at around 7.10am, for a further offence of voyeurism carried out while on bail.
A victim contacted the police, who arrested him at the scene and confiscated his phones. Officers examined the phones for evidence before finding “hundreds of videos in public places”, dating between January 2019 and the day of his arrest.
On August 21, Manchester Crown Court heard the man entered the toilets at Terminal 2 arrivals at around 11am that day with two mobile phones and positioned himself in a cubicle, waited for someone to arrive in one of the next cubicles, before placing his phone underneath the dividing wall to record his victims.
Most of the footage was shot at Manchester Airport, while some videos and pictures were filmed on trips to Romania and Belgium.
