HUDDERSFIELD MAN JAILED FOR FILMING COUPLES HAVING SEX AT HOLIDAY COTTAGE
The owner of the holiday let in Hope Terrace in the popular Yorkshire resort had set up covert recording equipment in the main bedroom of the cottage.
He was a Waugh, a 52-year-old former broadcasting engineer, who had previously pleaded guilty to two charges of voyeurism.
When Waugh, of Huddersfield Road, Shelley, appeared he also asked the court to take into consideration six further offences of installing recording devices in Easter Cottage and six of making recordings.
Waugh was jailed for 12 months for a series of sex crimes.
The court ordered that he be placed on the sex offenders register for 10 years and subject to a Sexual Offences Protection Order for the same period, restricting his use of covert recording equipment and his ability to own or operate a holiday let unless police are notified and can check it.
The discovery of the surveillance equipment, disguised as an alarm clock, was made by a guest who had become ill and found the device, leading to police investigations and Waugh's guilty pleas.
