Upskirter Jailed for 20 Months

0:00On April 16, a 62-year-old man from Camden named James Manchand just got hit with a 20-month prison sentence for upscirting young women. In London's Soho District, playing closed cops caught him on January 16, pacing outside busy nightlife spots and filming underscirts. They found 29 videos of more than 20 victims right there on his phone, all shot that same night, was started as a routine patrol against pickpockets turned into a big bust. This is first thought he was casing for thefts in the West End crowds, but when he kept hovering near groups of young women, they searched him. Turns out, he was already on a sexual harm prevention order from a prior voyeurism conviction, so they made him unlock his device on the spot. This guy's actions hit hard predatory moves in packed areas where victims might not even notice right away. Police say it shows total disregard for privacy, leaving women unsettled and violated. Officers are stressing how voyeurism invades personal space, no matter the motive.

1:01Digging deeper, officers spotted him during a facial recognition op on Tottenham Court Road and found VPN software on his phone to wipe his. History, straight up banned under his order. That sealed the deal for multiple breaches and new filming charges. Visually patrols like Operation Martello stopped him cold before more harm, and now he's off the streets with his phone and laptop gone for good. Today sharp out there folks, report that shady behavior quick.
