A school caretaker who spied on teenage girls getting changed at school has been jailed.
The victims noticed a mobile phone placed above a locked door to their changing rooms at their school in Nottinghamshire on 5 March 2025.
CCTV footage showed staff member Joshua Snow was in the corridor at the exact moment the three girls reported being photographed.
Police were informed and officers arrested 28-year-old Snow and seized his mobile phone.
Initial investigations revealed Snow had no deleted images older than 6 March, the day after the offence had taken place.
Police inquiries also showed the phone’s camera had been in use at that time.
When Snow was interviewed he admitted being in the corridor but said he had been checking emails on his phone and not using the camera.
Snow, of Bemrose Drive, Radcliffe-on-Trent, eventually pleaded guilty to two counts of voyeurism and was jailed for nine months at Nottingham Crown Court on Tuesday (10 March).
He was also made the subject of a Sexual Harm Prevention Order for 10 years.
Police Constable Matthew Holden, of Nottinghamshire Police, said:
“This was an appalling breach of trust and invasion of privacy by a trusted member of staff at a school.
“Snow initially tried to deny his offending but analysis of his phone proved these protestations were lies.
“He was left with no alternative but to admit what he had done.
“We worked hard on the investigation and I’d like to thank the young victims who have been very brave in giving statements and supporting the investigation.
“One of the girls attended court and courageously detailed the impact the incident has had on her.”
