Well, they would be having sex with you... so all it is is like a less realistic version of what actually happened. I would really have expected that as long as it wasn't rape, you didn't show other people (even then I would expect it to be legal), then you have a right to record your life? It's OK for photographers to take pictures of/video randomers in the street, surely it's only a small jump to then doing the same when they have sex, especially when it's with the actual recording individual.
...So yes, I would have thought that, yes.

It's a violation of privacy crime, not a sex crime. So he shouldn't be placed on the sex offenders registry. Jail is a bit harsh for the crime and it reeks of hypocrisy when the general message from the authorities is that no-one should be allowed privacy because privacy compromises security.
The sex offenders registry is deliberately and continually pitched as a list of rapists and child abusers. They should either change it into that or stop lying about what it is.

I wonder how many here would have the same opinions if it were themselves or a someone they knew that were being filmed without their knowledge ?
What he did was unacceptable although I can think of other people more worthy of cell space and a place on the SOR.

TBH I wouldn't really care. I'd be a bit miffed maybe but as long as it wasn't distributed then I wouldn't really worry about it.
I thought about that before I replied to this thread....
I think the sentence is fair (I guess) but 10 years on the SOR? That's just crazy!
Is he really as bad as a rapist or paedophile? Nope. But he's been bunched in with those.
What a total joke of a decision.

TBH I can't believe that is solicitor let him plead guilty to this in the first place. Shocking decision, just like the punishment.

Jail sentence is way over the top, the guys obviously a total dick but 8 months?
The guy used to work with who got caught downloading kiddy pics only served 6 weeks in clink. (way too low)
Register wise i actually think is ok. its not like its tattooed on his face it just means he cant get certain jobs and frankly im ok with that cause i wouldnt want someone who does this working around my kids or in a hospital or something.
I cant help but wonder which TV presenter it was.....BBC got any fit women presenters right now?

What if he stuck little "Smile! You're on CCTV!" plaques around the house. Like, little tiny ones in the corner of the corridors, but not in the bedroom. Would he have been covered then?
What if you had constant real-time video monitoring all over your house and decided to have an impromptu hot'n'heavy session in the living room. Someone else logs into your online monitoring VPN and all of a sudden you're a filthy pervert?
******* ridiculous putting him on the sex offender's register, if you ask me.

I would. It's a relatively minor privacy issue, which doesn't warrant 8 months in jail, 10 years as a registered sex offender (which we're all conditioned to believe means child abuser or rapist) and an ever-increasing number of jobs forever closed to him (criminal background check).
Okay videoing without telling your gf is a little bit wierd and not right - but he kept them private. His current gf was the one who released them, sending one to the woman involved.
Who has done the most harm here? I could understand if she was disgusted and took them to the police but sending one to the 'victim' is likely and possibly even intended to cause harm to that woman.
Has she been done for anything?

I have to agree 100%, sounded like the gf was snake with **** and have ruined his life over not very much

It's interesting to note that if he had used the recordings for malicious purposes then he might have got a lighter sentence, as the above case demonstrates. OK so his prison time might have increased my more than double, but I'd say that was worth it not to sign the sex offenders register for 10 years.

To be frank, if i looked good on the video that i would be happy
I'm quite sure (and quite rightly) he will appeal
