"I looked around the room... there was not one person who was not upset": The sick pervert who hid cameras in bathroom to film women and girls getting dressed

A man who hid cameras to secretly film women and children getting dressed has been jailed.

Ryan Beaumont, 38, spied on people as well as using his phone to take upskirting images. When he was arrested after a woman reported an upskirting offence in June 2021, the mobile mechanic told police he felt a 'rush' from obtaining footage without the victims’ knowledge.

A forensic examination of his devices revealed the sickening extent of his offending, and he was later charged with seven counts of taking category C images, one count of possessing category C images, one count of possessing category B images, eight counts of voyeurism, and four counts of upskirting.
