Voyeur electrician who hid cameras in women’s homes jailed

One victim, who is now 28, only found out last year what had been happening when she got a call from police to tell her that explicit shots were found.

She was targeted about six years ago, and said the realisation someone had been filming her and her then partner was “horrible” and “gross”.

The woman told BBC Scotland News: “All the police told me at the time was that there was indecent images and footage of me and my partner, taken without our knowledge.

“And then further down the line, we got a bit more information that it was of a sexual nature. It was mortifying.”

She said she had suffered panic attacks since learning she had been targeted.

“I am anxious anyway and this made it worse. It has made me very angry that he has done this to people,” she said.

“I have even been checking rooms in my new place – I keep checking in nooks and crannies, looking for cameras.

“I still feel I have not processed it. I am never letting anyone in to do work in my house, unless I know them, or I will do it myself.”
