The joys of being a woman
A former Met Police counter-terrorism officer has admitted using spy cameras to secretly film naked models.
What kind of models?
Pretending to be a pilot, Det Insp Neil Corbel arranged fake photoshoots in hotel rooms, flats and Airbnbs.
Westminster Magistrates’ Court heard he hid devices in tissue boxes, phone chargers, an air freshener and glasses to video his victims.
He was caught after a woman became suspicious of a digital clock and found it was a spy camera.
Oh a woman – that kind of model. I wonder if he asked them how they identified first.
Police found images of some 51 women on Corbel’s hard drive and were able to identify 19 victims willing to make statements against him.
51! He’s industrious about it.
“He set up the rooms well in advance with covert devices planted in strategic places capturing the women while they were undressing before the shoots,” said the prosecutor.
Mr Alabi said Corbel manoeuvred the models so that intimate parts of their bodies were filmed.
Uh huh; right up between the legs, no doubt.
Never mind, they were probably all Karens.
I don’t doubt the truth of the story, but I can’t work out from the reporting what happened there. He pretended to be a pilot? In order to talk women into photoshoots? And only one of the women had agreed to the shoot, but all the women went and took their clothes off in in preparation for a photoshoot they didn’t agree to take part in? And he was there for the taking off of the clothes because he was able to ‘manouevre them so intimate parts of their bodies were filmed’ by his hidden camera? “Hang on a minute love, before you take your bra off, just crouch down a bit…. turn to your left- wait, too far! That’s it, just get your upper body level with the air freshener. Ok, carry on!”
Maybe I’m over thinking it.
Catwhisperer:
The article says the women hadn’t agreed to be videoed. They had agreed to be photographed, but not to be videoed while they were changing.
As for the “manoeuvred” part, who knows? It could just mean that he directed them to particular rooms or told them to hang their clothes in a particular place or something, making it more likely that they’d be in view of the camera. I agree that is very unclear. And the pilot thing makes no sense at all without context, poor reporting.
If all he wanted was pictures and video, then he could have told the models what he wanted, hired the ones who were willing to provide it, and paid them the going rate for their services. I mean, where does he think all that porn on the internet comes from?
That wasn’t what he wanted. What he wanted was to violate the women. To invade their privacy; betray their trust; get a peek when they thought he wasn’t looking; take something they hadn’t agreed to give. That’s what he was getting off on.
Sigh…
