Thameslink train driver's 'outrageous' excuse for taking upskirt photos of lady
Briefly

Paolo Barone was convicted of voyeurism after taking unauthorized photos of a sleeping woman on a train. Dismissing his appeal, a judge criticized Barone's argument that her underwear was displayed due to her seating position, stating it was incorrect and indicated his specific actions to capture the images. Barone received a three-month prison sentence, suspended for 12 months, and despite his attempts to challenge the conviction, the court ruled against him, reinforcing the severity of his actions and the legal definition of voyeurism.
Barone attempted to challenge his voyeurism conviction, claiming the woman's underwear was visible due to her sitting position, but the appeal judge described this assertion as outrageous.
The judge stated that Barone's claim of the woman having her underwear 'on display' was inaccurate, emphasizing that only he could see her private parts due to his positioning.
