MEXBOROUGH MAN SENTENCED FOR UPSKIRTING AND ILLICIT FILMING
A man has been jailed for a year and banned from UK tanning salons after police found upskirting videos on his phone.Thomas Hampton, 33, from Mexborough, was arrested after a woman in a salon reported someone trying to film her while she was using a sunbed.He pleaded guilty to two counts of operating equipment beneath clothing of another without consent and observing a person doing a private act and was sentenced at Sheffield Crown Court on Friday.Det Insp Lucy Garside, of South Yorkshire Police, said Hampton was a "dangerous individual who has a preoccupation with filming and following lone women in public".Officers found Hampton was using the room next door to the woman on the sunbed when he tried to film her.
After his arrest, police discovered dozens of self-recorded videos and photos of women in public, including upskirting videos.Det Insp Garside stated: "He regularly recorded women without their consent, concealing the fact that he was filming."The detective added: "The victim, whose actions led to Hampton's arrest, had a frightening experience in a place she should feel safe, and I know it has affected her greatly."Hampton was also banned from owning any device capable of taking photos without notifying police and banned from entering any unisex changing areas and tanning salons in the UK.
This is part of a Sexual Harm Prevention Order that will last for seven years.
