A maintenance worker at a Knightsbridge office block who used his phone as a hidden camera to spy on women on the toilet is facing jail today. Jason Prowse, 38, propped his mobile on pipework under a bench in the cubicle and left it to record, capturing seven victims in an hour-long film. He was caught out when he received a call, and a woman using the toilet heard the handset vibrating. After discovering a phone that was set to record, she was “disgusted” to see herself on the tape. The woman then found that Prowse had accidentally filmed himself installing the makeshift spycam. Prowse, from Worcester Park, admitted when confronted that the phone was his, but insisted: “I’m not a perv.” He claimed he had been using the torch function to fix the heating and left the handset behind by accident. A jury at Southwark crown court yesterday rejected his story and found him guilty of voyeurism. He was set free on bail but could face jail when sentenced on Friday. … [Read more...] about Voyeur caught as phone filming women vibrated in toilet cubicle

Number of Thatcham toilet cubicles may be reduced
THE first steps towards “reviving” Thatcham Broadway – by reducing the number of public toilets – are being taken. In a bid to save money on the public toilets, Thatcham Town Council commissioned an architect to assess their use. A report conducted by Thatcham-based Mursell and Company said it was asked to reduce running costs and to maximise any income possibilities. The report considers reducing the 12 toilets down to four or two cubicles to make better use of the facility. Options include using the freed-up area for retail, as pop-up market space, with an option to hold meetings or functions, or as a weather shelter or office space. Discussing the findings at a meeting last week, town council leader Jason Collis (Con, Thatcham North) said: “I think the options proposed do give us a chance to make a better use of the building… using larger toilets gives us capacity for disabled loos and, according to the estimates … [Read more...] about Number of Thatcham toilet cubicles may be reduced
