A SWINDON man has appeared in court charged with spying on young girls.
Grant Morton, 46, of Purley Avenue, Park South, is currently before magistrates where he has entered no pleas to 18 charges.
It is said he used covert cameras to spy on teen girls.
Those charges, dated between 2012 and 2017, were:
- Seven counts of observing for the purposes of obtaining sexual gratification a person doing a private act
- Five counts of making an indecent image of a child (including more than 7,000 category B photographs), one count of distributing an indecent image of a child and three counts of possession of indecent images (including more than 50,000 category C photographs)
- Two counts of causing a computer to perform a function to enable access to unauthorised data
Magistrates bailed Morton to appear before Swindon Crown Court on September 28 for a plea and trial preparation hearing.
