Cameras hidden in care home loos
A MAN trying to copy “things he saw on the internet” hid cameras in the toilets at the care home where he worked.
Joshua Knights-Taylor, of Tan y Bryn in St Asaph, filmed multiple women in secret at his workplace.
The 23-year-old confessed to a charge voyeurism during an earlier court hearing. He was put before a judge yesterday for his punishment.
Mold Crown Court heard that, between June and December 2021, Knights-Taylor worked as a care home assistant at a facility in Denbighshire.
Prosecuting, Dafydd Roberts said it was here that a mobile phone which had been placed in the toilet block and had been filming those using the facilities was discovered by another member of staff.
Knights-Taylor was confronted about the finding and “immediately” confessed to being responsible.
Mr Roberts told the court how the defendant had already prepared a written confession, stating: “I did it because I was dirty”.
The device was examined by the police who found videos from three different toilets between the six-month period.
Judge Niclas Parry branded it a “campaign of voyeurism” when jailing Knights-Taylor for 10 months.
The judge explained how the women he filmed had all given statements, confirming that he caused “an enormous amount of distress”.
