Man spared jail after upskirting at Palace
A 57-year-old man has been spared jail after filming up women’s skirts near Buckingham Palace.
Richard Sivier was spotted by police using a camera to record under the clothing of women, including one who was pushing a pram, in and around the popular tourist area in June. He admitted to officers when arrested that he had also recorded upskirt footage at Trooping the Colour. Sentencing him at Westminster Magistrates’ Court, Jane Smith said: “You were uploading the images on to a website.”
Sivier, of Cambridge, admitted at a hearing earlier this month outraging public decency. He was sentenced to eight weeks in jail, suspended for two years and ordered to pay £200 costs. He was also banned for 24 months from having a camera capable of recording in public.
