A man named Paul Harper, aged 43, was sentenced to 16 months in prison for voyeurism after he was caught filming a woman through her bedroom window in Stoke-on-Trent. The incident occurred on June 25, when Harper used his mobile phone to record the woman, who was unaware of his presence. After the woman's partner confronted him, Harper fled the scene but was later arrested and pleaded guilty to the offense. The court heard that Harper had a previous conviction for a similar offense, and the judge emphasized the serious breach of privacy and the distress caused to the victim, highlighting the need for a custodial sentence to protect the public and deter such behavior.
