News / Peeping tom failed to report to police
A PEEPING tom placed on the sex offenders’ register last week after planting a camera inside the communal lavatory at his former place of employment appeared from custody once again at Lerwick Sheriff Court on Tuesday.
Robert Leask, of Huxter, on Whalsay, was arrested after he failed to report to the police to have his name added to the sex offenders register within three days of his conviction last Wednesday.
He admitted the new offence in court and sentence was deferred until 27 July for him to be sentenced.
The 49 year old must wait until 24 August to be sentenced for the original crime of secreting a USB camera inside the works toilet at the Blueshell Mussels packing factory in Sparl, Brae to spy on his fellow employees.
A female worker found the camera and handed it to managers who called in the police. Leask was identified on footage adjusting the position of the camera.
