Police ScotlandA man who secretly recorded nine women and a young girl in toilet cubicles at a shopping centre, supermarket and popular visitor attraction has been jailed for three-and-a-half years.
Sean Miller, 24, made the videos on his mobile phone between January and August 2023 at locations in Glasgow.
Miller committed offences while subject of a court bail order for previously recording nine women.
One victim bravely confronted Miller and dragged him by the collar to be reported to police.
His phone was seized and footage found included a seven second clip of a girl as young as ten using the toilet.
Miller pled guilty at Glasgow Sheriff Court to ten charges of voyeurism.
He also admitted behaving in a threatening or abusive manner and assaulting a police officer.
Sheriff Tony Kelly imposed an extended sentence on Miller who will be under supervision for 12 months upon his release from prison.
He was also put on the sex offenders register for an indefinite period.
The court earlier heard Miller entered a toilet cubicle at Govan Shopping Centre on the afternoon of January 24.
Prosecutor Lauren Sangray said: “The victim felt something was off and looked up to see a black phone hanging from the top of the cubicle.
“She shouted and heard someone run from the toilets.”
The woman later contacted security and CCTV was used to identify Miller.
Miller went on to carry out identical conduct on a further eight victims at the shopping centre as well as an Asda in Govan.
Recordings later recovered from his seized phone showed a seven second video from February 18.
Ms Sangray said: “This was of a female child who appears to be aged between ten and 13 using the toilet.
“This was taken over the top of the cubicle and the footage zooms in on her underwear.
“The child is unaware.”
Miller was granted bail in April and went on to record another woman at Pollok House in Pollok Country Park.
Ms Sangray said: “She saw someone holding a phone over the cubicle partition.
“She exited the cubicle and grabbed Miller by the collar.
“He struggled with her and stated ‘I didn’t, I didn’t’.
“Both attended the cafe and she shouted for help while holding on to Miller.”
Miller was taken to the staff area but he was able to flee the scene.
However, his image was recorded on CCTV and reported to the police who were able to identify him.
His mobile phone was seized and some of the footage was found on it.
The footage ranged between seven seconds to one minute and 49 seconds.
Some of the women were unaware they were being filmed.
Charles Drummond, defending, told the court that his client is a “troubled young man.”
