PEEPING TOM FACES JAIL AFTER LEERING IN SPORTS CENTRE CHANGE ROOM
A Peeping Tom who was caught leering at a naked woman and her son in a sports centre changing room is facing jail.George Anderson, 69, watched the pair after they had been swimming in Wishaw Sports Centre.
The woman's young son dropped his toy, and when she bent down to pick it up, she saw Anderson crouched on his hands and knees looking into the cubicle.
She panicked, grabbed a towel to cover herself, and banged on the door.
Anderson fled the scene in May and was later identified via CCTV footage.
He appeared at Hamilton Sheriff Court and admitted voyeurism.
Sheriff Colin Dunipace deferred sentence until January for reports and continued bail, warning that the court will consider all options in this case.
Anderson was placed on the sex offenders' register, and prosecutors have requested a non-harassment order to keep him away from his victim.
