PEE-PERV FILMED STUDENTS ON BOG

PISS-OBSESSED Luke Mallaband hid a mobile phone in a university toilet – so that he could record female students having a wee.

The unemployed 23- year- old snuck the spy camera into at least five separate bogs in libraries and student halls at the University of East Anglia in Norwich.

His phone recorded girls stripping off, showering and going to the toilet.

But he was caught when one of his victims noticed the device and called the police.

Mallaband admitted six charges of voyeurism at an earlier hearing. Louise Mantell- Sayer, prosecuting, told Norwich Magistrates Court that a woman discovered recording equipment in the UEA library.

Voyeurism

“She noticed a white plastic bag and it appeared to have a hole in one corner,” Ms Mantell- Sayer said.

The bag contained food and drink items and a box which also had a hole in it – in line with the hole in the bag – and in the box was an iPhone 6 on record mode.

A total of 38 voyeurism videos were found on Mallaband’s phone, filmed between July 2013 and February this year.

A probation report described Mallaband as a “high risk of posing serious harm to females”.

Ms Mantell- Sayer added that the woman reported what she found to the library’s helpdesk, before Mr Mallaband attended the desk and explained it was his bag and his phone, and he agreed to delete the videos.

She added: “He said his phone had been hacked and goes into record by itself. He said he had also been unwell. He is then handed everything back to him by the service advisor.

“It’s only after the woman goes home and thinks about what’s happened that she makes a complaint to the UEA and to police.”

Dave Foulkes, mitigating, said Mallaband, formerly of Norwich and now of, Walsall, had no previous convictions and had referred himself to a mental health team.

Jean Bonnick, chairman of the bench, banned Mallaband from all gender neutral and female public toilets for three years and imposed a six- month night- time curfew.

Mallaband was also handed a three- year community order, must complete a 200- hour sex offending behaviour programme and pay £ 170.
