A creep who tried to film a 15-year-old girl under the cubicle wall in the changing rooms at Swansea’s LC2 leisure centre was filmed legging it from the scene after the teenager caught him in the act.
Liam Warlow, 27, was caught on CCTV looking shifty as hell in the unisex changing room, having visited the leisure centre with friends and family before deciding to follow the teenage around:
Judge Geraint Walters told Warlow: “Having set eyes upon her, you quite purposefully, and with a fair degree of determination, hung about in the changing area — including viewing her through a mirror at one stage — until she entered a cubicle. You entered the adjoining cubicle, and while there you used your phone to film her.”
Here he is having a good cry in his mug shot:
Apparently the victim kicked his phone away after she saw him stick it under the cubicle, and then Warlow ran out of the venue without telling his friends and family that he was leaving.
When he was arrested at his then-partner’s home two days after the incident, he told the police he had accidentally dropped the phone and it had ‘managed to start recording by itself’. Whoops!
Warlow also insisted he couldn’t remember the password to access the ‘private area’ of his phone, but ended up pleading guilty to observing a private act for sexual gratification.
Seems Judge Walters at Swansea Crown Court took it easy on him though, passing down a six-month jail term suspended for 2 years and ordering Warlow to take a 43-day program to help tackle his issues around filming in public for sexual excitement, and also placing him on the sex offenders register.
Additionally, he will be subject to a sexual harm prevention order for seven years.
