Man, 20, gets probation after twice trying to film older sister showering

Pre-sentencing reports said the man's father appeared to condone his son's actions, while the young man himself seemed to regard his attempts to film his sister showering as a "prank".

Man, 20, gets probation after twice trying to film older sister showering

A 20-year-old man received 18 months of supervised probation for attempting to secretly record his older sister while she was showering twice. The younger man pleaded guilty to two counts of voyeurism. The victim, who was two years older, lived in the same household. On July 9, 2024, the man filmed his sister for 19 seconds through a frosted window with louvres in the service yard of their flat.

Three days later, he tried again for 47 seconds, but the recording showed only the window and wall. On a subsequent night, he attempted to film her again but was spotted by his sister before he could record. She screamed, and the police were called. The prosecutor argued for reformative training instead of probation, citing the premeditated nature of the actions and the accused's history of inadequate supervision.

The man was also ordered to perform community service, move out of his parents' home, and attend therapy.
