Insurance claims handler Andrew Fulker, 43, lost his job and home and was excommunicated from the church even before more historic sex offences came to light.
The father-of-two, of Woodlands Road, Isleworth denied, but was convicted of nine counts of voyeurism for sexual gratification between January 1, 2013 and September 16, 2014.
He pleaded guilty to four counts of indecent assault committed in the late 1980's and early 1990's against a girl when she was aged nine to twelve years-old.
Kingston-upon-Thames Crown Court heard the secret camera was set-up at an address in Mill Farm Crescent, Hounslow, where Fulker recorded the 21 year-old woman.
Much of the footage captured her naked when getting in and out of the shower and using the toilet.
Fulker also stored a vast amount of images of the young woman on his computer.
When aged between fifteen and eighteen years-old Fulker groped another female between the legs and encouraged her to touch him intimately.
His lawyer Mr. Gavin Pottinger, referring to the voyeurism offences, said: “He says he may be hiding something from himself.”
Before the police were informed Fulker was reported to church elders, who decided he was no longer welcome.
“He lost his job, he lost his house and moved in with his parents. He is only allowed to communicate with his parents on non-religious matters.”
Prosecutor Miss Georgina Coade told the court the victim of the voyeurism offences was getting ready for work on September 16, 2014 when she discovered the recording equipment.
“As she sat down on the toilet she heard a noise behind her that sounded like a camera focusing and saw a USB-type device on the window ledge behind her.
“Further footage had also been taken from an i-phone positioned on the floor near the bathroom cabinet.
“She plugged the USB device into the home computer and found varying video clips that showed intimate footage of her using the bathroom.
“In some of the footage she is naked, getting in and out of the shower and was horrified at what she had found.”
Fulker was confronted and there were discussions with his Jehovah Witness elders and he admitted setting-up the camera.
“He said he admired her body and curves,” added Miss Coade. “He said when he recorded her in her underwear it sparked his interest.”
The police were informed and found further moving images on his computer, with some transferred from the i-phone.
Fulker was sentenced to two years imprisonment for the indecent assaults, plus sixteen month consecutive for voyeurism.
He must sign the sex offenders register for life and was made subject to a Sexual Harm Prevention Order.
