Women targeted by Robert Holden, 51, described how his 'perverted fetish' had left them feeling 'violated, disgusted and mortified' and, in many cases, had completely wrecked their lives.
A 'depraved and selfish' former councillor who filmed 28 women in bathrooms and bedrooms using hidden cameras over a period of nearly 15 years has been jailed for over six years.
Going through each victim's experience in turn, the judge said of one: 'You recorded her in virtually every act she was doing, including sexual acts.' The judge noted how Holden, who ran an IT business, kept huge numbers of these recordings on his devices, neatly labelled in files. The judge said that, in his own words, Holden did it 'to get a cheap thrill' but said he could not properly explain why he did what he did.
Another woman described how what happened had left her unable to trust anyone and she was now living as a virtual recluse.
