AN ISLE of Wight man has been sentenced for non-recent voyeurism, after recording, for the purpose of sexual gratification, a woman performing a private act.

Matthias Bailey, of Carisbrooke Road, Newport, appeared before Worthing magistrates last month.

At a previous hearing in March, the 32-year-old admitted voyeurism – the recording of a private act – on the Isle of Wight.

The charge related to dates between October 1, 2017, and April 30, 2018.

The court heard he recorded another person doing a private act and did so with the intention that he or a third person would, for the purpose of obtaining sexual gratification, look at the image.

Matthias was handed a 16-week prison term, suspended for 18 months.
