A pervert who secretly filmed women and children in the bathroom of a Dundee home is appealing the length of his jail term.
Kevin Enticknap, 42, was sent to prison for four years in December after he was found to have rigged up a complex hidden camera system in the property and captured footage of private acts.
Enticknap stored the videos on his phone so he could watch them later.
Now the Tele can reveal that he is set to appeal the length of his sentence on March 29 because he believes it is “excessive”.
His solicitor, Larry Flynn, said: “He is appealing the custodial part of the sentence.
“The sheriff originally said that the custodial part of the sentence would have been six years if it had gone to trial, but because he pleaded guilty she gave him four years.
“The appeal centres on the claim that four years is excessive.”
Enticknap’s case will call for the first time at the High Court of Appeal in Edinburgh next Tuesday, where it will be decided if he is suitable to appear via videolink from custody for the hearing on March 29.
During court appearances last year, it was revealed that Enticknap had also drilled a hole in a wall on one occasion so he could peer into a bathroom.
His victims said they had felt “completely shocked, sick and totally violated”.
His city home was raided by police in February last year where it was found he had downloaded indecent images of children.
A laptop and three mobile phones were seized and they had 249 indecent images and 75 indecent videos on them.
Investigations found that Enticknap sexually assaulted a child sometime between 2010 and 2013 in Dundee.
Laurie Matthew, founder of Dundee charity Eighteen And Under — which supports people who have experienced sexual, physical or emotional abuse — today branded the appeal “absolutely disgraceful”.
She added: “The sentences given out for these crimes often don’t reflect how much impact and emotional trauma they have on the victims. They are often scarred for life.
“For this man to appeal is disgusting. If he is successful, what sort of message does that send out, that it’s OK to do these sort of things?
“We support people who have been victims of these crimes and they often become reclusive and afraid to leave the house.
“While he is locked away, at least people are safe from him.
“I’m all for justice and the right to appeal, but we need to be seen to be making a stand against these awful crimes, and send a strong message that these crimes will be dealt with properly.”
