Creeps hid in mixed gender changing rooms to film over 5,000 young women getting undressed before sharing videos online
A GANG of voyeurs hid in mixed gender changing rooms to secretly film more than 5,000 young women undressing.
Adam Dennis, 39, and Robert Morgan, 33, “hunted” for teenage girls at public swimming pools.
The creeps then made catalogues of their images to share and trade with other fiends online.
Dennis even made “profile documents” of his victims using social media and swimming pool club records.
The pair made the secret recordings alongside Miguel Jose Sainz, who is on the run, and Declan Golden, who fled to the US.
Dennis was jailed for 22 months after he admitted voyeurism and making indecent photos.
While Morgan was sentenced to 20 months imprisonment suspended for two years after pleading guilty to the same charges.
Inner London Crown Court heard the gang hid at pools in East London and Surrey for over four years betweeen April 2013 and November 2017.
They spent hours in mixed gender changing rooms with covert recording equipment waiting to photograph women and girls.
The gang would then message each other about their “hunting” expeditions and spoke about recording “OTs” – older teens.
Prosecutor Kate Temple-Mabe said: “These defendants and co-conspirators would enter a changing cubicle at some point during the day and close the door.
“They would have with them a small hidden camera, usually concealed.
“They would then wait in the cubicle until someone, preferably a young female, went into the cubicle next to theirs.
“While that person was changing the bag containing a hidden camera would be slid part way in the partition, allowing the camera which was set to record.
“The victim would only see a bag pushed partially in between the partition.
“They referred to this activity amongst themselves as hunting.
“They would select their preferred content, then edit the films they particularly liked into short videos.”
Their sick crimes were only exposed when police searched Sainz’ home after he was arrested in March 2017.
Officers discovered a vile cache of evidence on his devices, as well as on a USB stick found by cops in the US investigation of Declan Golden.
Messages between the gang revealed how they would lie in wait to target young women.
One, from Dennis to Golden, read: “I wish I could have seen some of my OTs from my school days as they were then.
Golden replied: “I have another OT on the lower end of the spectrum if you know what I mean, not really my cup of tea but it might be good for trading material.”
Dennis also trawled through his victims’ social media using their swimming club accounts to create documents.
He would arrange their club photos alongside the vile pictures he took of them.
Sentencing, Judge Benedict Kelleher said: “The scope of this was frankly enormous.
“Both of you were frequently visiting locations and taking pictures, and its suggested by prosecution creating…5,000 separate sets of images.”
