Jail for man who secretly recorded work colleague in shower
Summary
Anthony Dunne, 61, was sentenced to one year in prison for secretly recording a female colleague while she showered at his workplace and for capturing intimate images of his partner's daughter‑in‑law in her home. The court heard that Dunne attached a camera to his phone and hid it behind boxes at the factory, recording the colleague on March 23 2021, and that he had also filmed the daughter‑in‑law between February and April 2020. He pleaded guilty to both offences, had no prior convictions, and was ordered to have no contact with the victim for two years after release. The judge highlighted the premeditated nature of the acts and the breach of trust, noting the victims' ongoing distress and the impact on their sense of safety. The case was prosecuted by Mark Lynam BL and heard by Judge Orla Crowe in the Dublin Circuit Criminal Court.
