The accused pleaded guilty to five counts of voyeurism, five counts of publishing voyeuristic recordings, and one count of breaching a release order.
Between 2016 and 2023, the accused installed hidden recording devices in the homes and vacation property of five victims, recording them in various states of undress.
He subsequently published these intimate images on cyber-exploitation websites, including the victims' real names.
The accused committed some offences while on bail for similar charges involving his step-sister.
The court imposed a global sentence of 8.5 years in the penitentiary, less pre-sentence custody, to be served consecutively to an existing sentence.
The sentence reflects the egregious nature of the offences, the serious breach of trust, the repeated violations of privacy, and the devastating impact on the victims.
