SARNIA – A Sarnia voyeur with a fetish for women’s underwear was sentenced to more than four years in prison on Wednesday for offences that include the sexual assault of a child and making child pornography.
Jeremy Williams, 34, also pleaded guilty to 13 counts of voyeurism, assault, break-ins and possession of stolen property — 21 offences in total — committed in 2006 and 2007.
Crown attorney Richard Weatherston says Williams looked for opportunities to spy on women and was “quite good” at avoiding detection.
In fact, he was caught only because he left a stolen video camera behind in the bedroom of a Sarnia teenager.
The girl found images of herself on the camera, which were shot from outside her bedroom window.
The court heard Williams forgot the camera after he became distracted by the girl’s underwear.
The camera contained images of Williams and he was arrest the same day.
The charges of sexual assault and production of child pornography involved a seven-year-old girl.
While the child was sleeping Williams photographed himself touching her vaginal area.
Dr. Philip Klassen, an expert in the field of sexual offenders, testified Williams is not a pedophile.
Testing did not confirm pedophilia, Klassen told the court.
The court was shown about 20 minutes of video from the camera featuring short clips of women in various states of nudity.
Klassen told the court voyeurism and a fetish for women’s underwear were driving forces for Williams.
