Perv Broke In To Wear His Victims’ Knickers

A CROSS-DRESSING burglar who broke into a house and filmed himself wearing a schoolgirl’s underwear was today jailed indefinitely.

Gary Marie, 42, of Burnley, Lancs, would break into empty houses or spy on his female victims to indulge his sexual fantasies, Preston Crown Court was told.

One woman had since tried to commit suicide while another, a 15-year-old schoolgirl, suffered regular nightmares.

Balaclava-clad Marie was spotted by officers on a routine patrol in Padiham in the early hours of March 19 last year.

The perv tried to escape on a bicycle down a back street but when cornered he pulled out a CS gas canister and squirted the spray in the faces of six officers.

The defendant was eventually overpowered and arrested, and was found to be wearing a woman’s white thong and a black sports bra.

His balaclava had been fashioned from a pair of knickers and he also carried a device for turning keys and a pair of gloves, the court heard.

Richard Haworth, prosecuting, said a mobile phone and digital camera were recovered following his arrest.

He said: “These items supported the evidence that the defendant was entering the homes of complete strangers and committing acts of a sexual nature.

“There was footage of him touching himself while wearing women’s underwear.”

Images of bedrooms that Marie had filmed were published in a local newspaper and a number of people came forward to police.

It emerged Marie broke into the home of one of his victims on the night he was arrested. No-one was in the family home at the time as he walked into the bedroom of a 15-year-old girl.

Video footage showed him lying on her bed with her knickers on his head as he pleasured himself. At one point he smiled and waved at the camera as he mentioned the girl’s first name.

In the girl’s victim impact statement she said she had changed mentally and physically since the trauma.

She stated: “I have started to have nightmares. I do not like being on my own. I no longer trust men.”

Other victims included a woman whose underwear Marie stole from her house and filmed himself wearing. Images taken of her through a window at her home were also recovered.

‘ This is one of the most complex and difficult-to-understand cases that I have confronted in my period of service on the Bench. ’

In her victim impact statement, the woman said she was “shocked” at what happened and felt “violated” and “dirty”.

Mr Haworth said she later tried to kill herself with an overdose of tablets and alcohol.

Marie also filmed a 14-year-old girl from outside her home as she undressed in her bedroom and had photographs of another schoolgirl which were believed to have been taken in a handbag theft in a local park.

Marie was convicted of more than two dozen offences at his trial at Preston Crown Court in February.

These included six counts of voyeurism, ten counts of possessing indecent photos of children and six counts of assaulting police officers.

He was also found guilty of aggravated burglary, burglary and possession of a firearm, namely a CS gas canister.

He did not give evidence at his trial and he refused to leave the cells on some days of the hearing.

Marie was handed an indeterminate sentence for public protection by Judge Stuart Baker and must serve a minimum of six years in jail.

Sentencing him, Judge Baker said: “This is one of the most complex and difficult-to-understand cases that I have confronted in my period of service on the Bench.

“Whatever the sexual orientation or gender issues, the fact remains you have invaded the privacy of a number of people. You have invaded their homes.”
