A man who was jailed for secretly filming young women and children using his toilet has succeeded in having his prison sentence cut.
Kevin Enticknap, 42, was jailed for four years in December 2015 for producing a string of voyeur videos and for sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl.
Dundee Sheriff Court had heard how Enticknap made the videos to satisfy his fetish for watching people using the bathroom at his property in the city.
Sheriff Elizabeth Munro jailed Enticknap and ordered him to be supervised for two years following his release from custody.
But yesterday, at the Court of Criminal Appeal in Edinburgh, judges Lady Dorrian and Lord Bracadale quashed his sentence.
The judges ruled that the sheriff’s sentence was excessive and that Enticknap should serve 32 months in custody.
The judges came to the decision partly because Enticknap had not previously served a custodial sentence.
Lady Dorrian said: “We will substitute 48 months for 32 months.”
Enticknap, of Forres, Moray, was convicted after pleading guilty to repeatedly breaching the Sexual Offences Scotland Act.
Prosecution lawyer Eilidh Robertson told the court that Enticknap had modified two shower gel containers and a wash bag to conceal cameras.
He had even drilled holes in the walls of the bathroom and his bedroom and had also run cables between them.
A probe revealed a total of seven people had fallen victim to his sickening scam.
The court heard that Enticknap had installed spy cam software on his phone that allowed it to be used as a “motion triggered video recorder” that switched on when people used his bathroom.
He was caught after police received a tip that he had been downloading child abuse images from the internet.
They raided his home and found his stash on his computer.
Ms Robertson told the court: “Six photos were found which show a young girl thought to be aged around 10 at the time.”
Defence solicitor advocate Iain Paterson told the court that his client had many personal problems at the time of his offending behaviour.
The judges agreed to reduce his sentence at the end of the hearing.
