Man filmed woman in toilets at work after previous voyeurism offences


The 46-year-old has been jailed for over a year.

A man who filmed in women’s toilets has been jailed. Alan Russell, 46, was reported to his bosses by a colleague in April 2025 after he followed her to the women’s toilet at their workplace in Huntingdon.

CCTV footage showed Russell waiting for the victim to close the cubicle door, before entering the toilets while filming on his phone. This was in breach of a sexual harm prevention order (SHPO) imposed by Lincolnshire Magistrates’ Court in July 2015 after Russell was convicted of multiple voyeurism offences.

Part of the SHPO forbade Russell from entering any female toilets, loitering within 10m of any public toilet, or entering any room that females use as a changing room.

The 46-year-old of Princes Street, Peterborough, admitted to voyeurism and breaching a SHPO at Cambridge Crown Court on Thursday (February 5). He was sentenced to one year and six months in prison.
