A medical college student from Devon has told how an ex-boyfriend secretly photographed her naked while she was sleeping, showering and getting dressed. The girl did not hush up the situation, but filed a lawsuit against her boyfriend. Find out to what punishment the would-be photographer was sentenced from our material.
24-year-old Lucy Lear found more than 30 of her intimate photos in her ex-boyfriend's phone. He secretly filmed her naked for three years. For this, the British woman sued the guy.
It took a year and a half for 26-year-old Dale Bastin to be found guilty of voyeurism. The guy received a six-month prison sentence suspended for 18 months. His name was added to the list of sex offenders for seven years.
Candid photos of Lucy were taken at her home. The girl started dating Dale when she was 16 years old. In November 2015, the couple had a daughter. When the baby was three months old, the young mother moved into her own house. The lovers did not live together all the time.
In order to provide her daughter with a full-fledged future, Lucy decided to study to be a nurse. The father did not show much interest in the baby, so the British woman had to solve most of the problems herself. The couple eventually broke up.
After a while, in December 2019, Lucy and Dale got back together. One evening, a woman looked into her boyfriend's phone. She noticed a picture of her naked butt under the blanket. Looking through the files further, the British woman was shocked to see more than 30 of her nude pictures, the existence of which she knew nothing. According to the situation in the frames, Lucy realized that they were made about three years ago.
Most of the photos showed Lucy naked in bed. There were also pictures taken in the shower, and photos of the girl changing clothes. Some of the shots were very explicit, intimate places are visible in detail on them. Dale specially took off his underwear from his sleeping partner, and then photographed her.
Stunned by what she saw, Lucy asked the guy to leave. She took the phone. The woman was so disgusted by what she saw that she vomited. Dale could not clearly explain why he took the photo. On the same day, the British woman called the police. At first, they refused to consider her appeal due to the lack of legal grounds. Later, Lucy got a call back from a domestic and sexual abuse victim support group and confirmed that her boyfriend had committed a crime.
Lucy gave a statement to the police, and in April 2020, Dale was charged with voyeurism. The man did not admit his guilt and even accused the ex-girlfriend that she herself uploaded intimate photos to his phone.
To get rid of unpleasant memories, Lucy moved to another house. Against the background of stress, she developed post-traumatic syndrome, and she had to visit a psychologist. The young mother suspended her college studies and concentrated on raising her daughter.
In July 2021, Dale was found guilty of five counts of voyeurism. He was sentenced to six months in prison and one hundred hours of unpaid community service. He was also ordered 20 days of mental rehabilitation and his name was added to the list of persons who committed sexual crimes for seven years.
The would-be photographer must pay 500 pounds (about 50,000 rubles) of court costs. He was forbidden to approach Lucy. Now the British woman is glad that she saw the ill-fated photos in her ex's phone before they started living together again. She has resumed her studies and hopes that everything will turn out well for her and her daughter.
Meanwhile, an Indian man sued his wife after learning that she was transgender. The truth came out after an examination by a gynecologist.
