A Sydney unit manager who hid secret spy cameras in the bathrooms of an inner-city Sydney apartment block has been sentenced to 28 months in jail.
Key points:
- James Maxwell hid cameras in bathrooms and a bedroom of two Pyrmont buildings
- The devices filmed residents having sex, showering and masturbating
- He was sentenced to a non-parole period of 12 months
James Ernest Maxwell, 49, pleaded guilty in Sydney’s Downing Centre Local Court over the cameras, which were hidden in bathrooms and a bedroom of two units in a Pyrmont building last year.
The devices filmed tenants having sex, going to the toilet, masturbating and showering.
The court heard the offending began after a Facebook advertisement for a spy camera popped up on Maxwell’s computer.
A legal aid lawyer said “extreme levels of remorse” for his crimes led Maxwell to quit his dream job as an airline steward.
In sentencing, Magistrate Kate Thompson said Maxwell’s crimes struck at the “heart of personal integrity and dignity”.
He was sentenced to a non-parole period of 12 months.
