| Hammersmith Magistrates' Court |
A child porn voyeur, who secretly filmed a fifteen year-old girl showering at his home, where she and her mother were regular guests, was exposed after a sudden raid by Scotland Yard's Paedophile Unit.
John Cleur, 41, of Capel Road, Forest Gate also kept recordings of the girl's mother, which he made using a camera hidden inside a spectacles case placed on the edge of the bathroom sink.
Officers made off with incriminating computer files and seized more material when they searched his mother's home in Mortlake Road, Ilford.
Cleur pleaded guilty at Hammersmith Magistrates' Court to three counts of voyeurism in that he took sexual gratification from recording a person doing a private act on dates between July 21, 2011 and March 22, 2012.
He also pleaded guilty to two counts of making an indecent image of a child and one count of posseesing 49 indecent images of a child.
Cleur was placed on probation for two years and ordered to pay £85 costs and a £60 victim surcharge.
He must also sign the sex offenders register for five years and an indefinite Sexual Offences Prevention Order was made, which controls his internet use.
The court heard computer equipment, including a tower and USB sticks were seized by police and Cleur confessed to visiting porn sites such as 'Jailbait' which featured girls aged between 11 and 15.
His favourite scenes were voyeuristic in nature and the defendant admitted to officers this inspired him to film his own.
He agreed he received sexual gratification from watching the teenage guest showering at his home and also kept footage of her mother.
The court heard the domestic “fall-out must have been enormous”, particularly as Cleur's wife was at home during the first police raid.
The first-time offender was told it was “tragic” he should find himself in court for such offences.
