JAMIE FOWLER'S SHOCKING CRIMES IN WESTON-SUPER-MARE AND TAUNTON REVEALED

In January 2021, a disturbing case involving Jamie Fowler, a resident of Weston-super-Mare, came to light when he was convicted and sentenced for a series of serious offences related to the invasion of privacy and indecent acts. Fowler, aged 26 and living on Grenville Avenue in Weston-super-Mare, was found guilty of filming women without their consent, a crime that has caused significant concern among the local community and law enforcement authorities.

According to police reports, Fowler was responsible for capturing multiple video clips of women in public spaces across the Weston-super-Mare, Taunton, and Clifton areas. The footage, which consisted of 17 videos stored on his mobile device, predominantly featured lone women engaged in jogging or walking through various outdoor locations, including woodland areas and along canal paths. Investigators believe these recordings were made between March and June of the previous year, although the exact locations remain unidentified. Authorities have expressed their desire to locate and speak with the women involved, urging anyone who might recognize themselves or have information to contact the police at 101, referencing case number 5220145194.

Fowler’s criminal history is extensive and troubling. In 2017, he was previously sentenced to 14 months in prison for offences that included outraging public decency, notably performing a sex act in front of two young girls. His past actions also involved lewd conduct and indecent exposure, which have contributed to his reputation as a serial offender.

Most recently, Fowler was sentenced at Bristol Crown Court to 16 months in prison for breaching an indefinite Sexual Offences Prevention Order (SOPO) that had been imposed on him in 2013. The breach was linked to the illicit filming of women in public spaces, a violation that underscores ongoing concerns about his behavior and the potential risk he poses to the community.

In addition to the filming offences, Fowler’s criminal record includes a series of disturbing incidents. In March 2017, he was convicted of performing a sex act in front of schoolgirls in Weston-super-Mare while sitting in his BMW. The victims, both ten years old, were walking home from school when Fowler targeted them. Witnesses reported that Fowler appeared to be engaged in a sexual act and made lewd remarks, including telling one girl, “Suck me girl.”

Fowler pleaded guilty to two counts of outraging public decency and was sentenced to 14 months in prison. The court heard how the victims and their families had been deeply affected by his actions, with one mother stating that her daughter had become more curious and uncomfortable about sex and relationships since the incident. The judge emphasized the devastating impact on the victims and highlighted the need for Fowler to address his offending behavior.

Further back in his criminal timeline, Fowler was involved in a series of other lewd acts. In July 2013, he was tracked down via Facebook after exposing himself to schoolgirls and photographing a two-year-old girl in changing rooms. The court heard that Fowler, then 19, had targeted young children and teenagers in Weston-super-Mare, often filming or performing lewd acts from his car. One particularly disturbing incident involved a 14-year-old girl walking along Uphill Road, who reported that Fowler had followed her, made inappropriate comments, and performed a sexual act from his vehicle, even threatening her with the words, “Look what I’m doing – I’m going to rape you.”

Fowler’s arrest followed his identification on social media, and police recovered video footage from his phone showing him engaging in sexual acts in public and in the presence of minors. His actions included indecent exposure and voyeurism, with videos depicting him in the act of filming young girls and a toddler in a changing room at Hutton Moor leisure centre. During police interviews, Fowler claimed that his offences were impulsive and driven by sexual gratification, a statement that further alarmed authorities.

His defense attorney acknowledged the seriousness of his crimes and expressed concern for his mental health, suggesting that Fowler recognizes the need for help. Nonetheless, the court took a firm stance, imposing an indefinite Sexual Offences Prevention Order to prevent him from having unsupervised contact with minors or filming them in the future. The case remains ongoing, with sentencing scheduled for next month, but the community remains deeply unsettled by the extent and severity of Fowler’s offending history.
