Pervert filmed women in toilets of Northampton office block with mobile phone
Adam Widgery
A PERVERT caught filming a woman using toilets in a Northampton office block was also intercepting a neighbour’s mail.
Adam Widgery, 38, hid in the ladies toilets of Ingeus, in Derngate, Northampton, and lay in wait with his mobile phone.
Rebecca Wade, prosecuting, said: “All the matters came to light on Monday, November 14 last year at 9.50am.
“As she stood up to pull up her underwear, she looked up and could see a mobile phone being pointed over the partitions into her cubicle.”
Northampton Crown Court heard the victim had tricked Widgery into the cubicle by pretending to leave the toilets.
She tackled him and he was detained by office staff and arrested.
Police officers examined his mobile phone and found he had filmed her using the toilet, as well as evidence of previous voyeurism.
Miss Wade said similar footage was found from November 4 as well as five separate episodes of women using public toilets on November 9.
It also emerged Widgery, who has an attached disorder, had been taking covert pictures of a neighbour, going through her bins and intercepting her mail.
Miss Wade said: “He said he had gone through her bins looking for underwear and sanitary towels and stated it was a perverse thrill for him.”
Widgery, of Great Gull Crescent, Southfields, admitted five offences of voyeurism and intercepting mail.
He was sentenced to a three-year supervision order, with sex offender treatment, a four-month 9pm to 6am curfew and 100 hours community service.
Judge Peter Tomlinson also banned him from having a mobile phone with a camera and from loitering near female toilets.

Tuesday, February 21, 2012 at 10:32 PMOr a more concise definition is another term invented by contemporary psychologists to excuse inexcusable behaviour. Time to break out the Budzillos. If you don't know what they are, ask a cattle farmer.
