On April 16, a 62-year-old man named James Manchan just got hit with a 20-month prison sentence for filming upscored videos of more than 20 women in one night in Soho. This all went down on January 16, outside Busy West End spots, and he was nailed right there by patrolling officers who found 29 clips on his phone. Officers first clocked him hovering near young women in cues, thinking he might be scoping for thefts. Turns out, he was already on a sexual harm prevention order from a past voyeurism case so they checked his details and made him unlock the device boom, instant evidence. The impact hit hard on victims who might not even know they were targeted in crowded areas. Police say his actions show total disregard, invading privacy for kicks, and they're pushing bystanders to stay alert and report shady behavior. Fast. He also caught extra time for breaching that order twice. Once in December, using software to wipe his browsing history, which was straight up

banned. Sentences stacked up to 12 months per breach, plus 4 months each for the filming and a suspended term. Thanks to ops like Martelo targeting thefts and violence against women, plus fresh training for 23,000 officers, the meds sharpening. Tools to stop predators early and back victims better. Stay vigilant out there.
