A Littlehampton man has been found guilty of filming a teenage girl and touching her bottom.

Unemployed Jon Millhouse, 57, was charged with one count of voyeurism and seven counts of taking indecent images between January 2012 and May 2012.

He was found guilty at trial at Chichester Crown Court on Friday, November 29, when he was also found not guilty of two counts of non penetrative sexual activity with a child.

Detective Constable Tim Hughes said: “Millhouse tried to excuse his actions but what he did, by covertly filming the victim, has had a profound effect on her.

“I am extremely pleased a jury has today found him guilty of these crimes and that he has been punished accordingly.

“The victim showed great courage in speaking about Millhouse's actions in court and is being supported so you can continue with her life.

“I would urge anyone who has been subjected to any kind of sexual abuse to report it to police as they will always be given the support and help they need.”

Millhouse will be sentenced at Chichester Crown Court on January 10.
