Voyeur crept in caravan to watch woman

HE LIFTED DUVET SO HE COULD SEE HER NAKED

Court Reporter VILE Neil Terry has admitted sneaking into a caravan and lifting a woman’s duvet to watch her lying there naked.

The 46-year-old crept into the mobile home in Whitley Bay to target his unsuspecti­ng victim for sex kicks.

A court heard Terry made no recording of what he saw but he has pleaded guilty to voyeurism.

The charge stated that for “sexual gratificat­ion you observed a woman doing a private act, something she did not consent to being observed”.

His case was adjourned for presentenc­e reports to be compiled and he was further released on conditiona­l bail.

Judge Paul Sloan QC, at Newcastle Crown Court, told him: “I’m going to adjourn sentence in your case until April 19, that’s the next date you must attend this court building.

“I’m directing the preparatio­n of a pre-sentence report.

“You must understand the fact I’m adjourning sentence and directing the preparatio­n of a presentenc­e report is not an indication of the sentence that will be imposed – that will be a matter for the judge who hears your case in due course.”

The offence happened on July 31 last year.

At a previous hearing it was claimed that Terry had used his mobile phone either as a light to see the victim or to poossible record her.

But prosecutor Emma Dowling said: “Nothing was found on the phone.

“It’s not clear he actually managed to record.”

No further details will be revealed until Terry, of Buckingham Street, Scunthorpe, Lincolnshi­re, is sentenced next month.
