Bed And Breakfast Yorkshire

B&B owner used secret peepholes to spy on his guests as they had sex

A bed-and-breakfast owner spied on his guests through secret peepholes and made audio recordings of their most intimate moments.

Three young couples were watched by Paul Williams, 59, from holes which he had drilled in the doors of the rooms.

He was discovered when one of his victims, a 16-year-old student, spotted a poster placed over one of the holes begin to move.

Her boyfriend investigated and found a hole which provided a view directly on to the bed. After hearing footsteps he opened the door to find Williams in a dressing gown shuffling down the corridor.

The three couples were all friends and when the others were told, they found similar hidden spy-holes in their rooms.

As the guests had been drinking and could not drive so they stayed at the guest house but moved to one room. The next morning they obtained a refund and called the police.

Audio recording equipment was then discovered in an adjoining room at the Sandsea guest house in Scarborough, North Yorkshire.

Steve Ovenden, prosecuting at Scarborough Magistrates’ Court, said: ‘When played, the recording sounded like people having sexual intercourse.’

The revelations were said to have left the guests feeling 'sick and horrified'. Another told police that she was 'terrified and couldn’t wait to leave'.

Mr Ovenden added: 'Three couples went to Scarborough for the weekend and booked rooms and the Sandsea Guest House.

'They arrived, paid their money and went to enjoy their evening in Scarborough before they returned to their rooms.

'A student aged 16 then saw a poster with fire regulations on it moving around on the door and told her boyfriend.

'One of the gentlemen went into an adjoining room and came out with a voice recorder.'

Magistrates asked the probation service to prepare a pre-sentence report. Williams will be sentenced next month.

Victoria Shephard, the chairman of the bench, said she believed a custodial sentence would be appropriate and left all options open.

She said: 'The offending was aggravated because it took place in a hotel, there was an audio recording made and one victim was aged 16. It was an abuse of your position.'

Franklyn Garvey, mitigating, said: 'This incident is a very sad blemish on what has been a peerless record.
