A PERVERT and voyeur has been jailed after being caught following a tip off to police.

Terence Munro had secretly filmed a woman in the shower without her knowledge and also adapted her computer so that he could access it from his own.

Officers only made the discovery after being tipped off the 58-year-old was accessing indecent images of children online.

Members of the Sussex Police Paedophile On-Line Investigation Team (POLIT) raided Munro's address in Goodwood Way, Brighton, in May 2015.

After seizing his computer, they found not just 1000 indecent images of children but evidence that he had interfered with the computer of a woman known to him.

He also secretly fitted a miniature camera into the bathroom she used enabling him to watch her.

A Sussex Police spokesman said none of the indecent images are of the woman but they had been downloaded from the internet and not thought to be of local children.

Munro pleaded guilty to three charges of making indecent images, one charge of voyeurism and one charge of computer misuse.

He was jailed for 20 months when he appeared at Chichester Crown Court on Thursday (December 22).

He will be required to register as a sex offender for ten years and given a sexual harm prevention order to last indefinitely, severely restricting his access to children and computers.

Sentencing Munro, Judge Christopher Parker said: "This was a sophisticated and planned intrusion into, and the entire removal of, the privacy of a girl developing into a young woman.”

Investigator Mark Hibberd of POLIT said: "We are very glad to have brought this man to justice. Each viewing of indecent images is in effect a further abuse of the children in them, and he also caused personal torment to a victim for his own sexual gratification.”
