6<\/p>\n Creep Robert Holden was seen adjusting one of his hidden cameras in his mum-of-two tenant’s bathroomCredit: West Yorkshire Police 6<\/p>\n The sex offender secretly filmed 28 women over a 14-year periodCredit: West Yorkshire Police 6<\/p>\n His last victim Heidi Marney, 32, exposed the peeping Tom and has revealed all in a new documentary on the caseCredit: True North Productions<\/p>\n The peeping Tom was exposed by his final victim<\/a>, Heidi Marney, 32, who gathered the courage to lay bare his creepy activities after finding one of the cameras in her bathroom.<\/p>\n Terrifying stills shared by police<\/a> capture the moment the sex offender adjusted one of his sick recording devices at his rural farm house.<\/p>\n Holden had owned a local computer shop and worked as a landlord<\/a>, aside his councillor role, offering cheap rooms to vulnerable women who thought they could trust him.<\/p>\n But he abused this role, using hidden cameras in intimate areas of his rental properties<\/a>, such as bathrooms and bedrooms, for a number of years.<\/p>\n The footage captured deeply private moments, including tenants showering, changing clothes, or engaging in intimate activities, such as being intimate with a partner.<\/p>\n When Heidi discovered one of the concealed cameras in the bathroom of her rented home, she immediately reported the incident to police<\/a>, prompting an investigation into Holden’s activities.<\/p>\n Heidi, a therapist, was a newly-single mum when she saw Holden advertise for a lodger in December 2019.<\/p>\n Since he was a family<\/a> friend, and he was offering her and her baby daughter the opportunity to live rent-free, Heidi felt like it was an opportunity she couldn’t refuse, she told MailOnline<\/a>.<\/p>\n However, after sitting in a large bathtub in the property on her first night there, she began to feel like she was being watched.<\/p>\n Heidi says she saw a television<\/a> in the bathroom with a sensor and a red light attached to it, but a friend eventually panned this off as nothing out of the ordinary.<\/p>\n I was secretly filmed by \u2018pound shop Hugh Heffner\u2019 landlord who hid camera in the bathroom & tracked me on dates<\/p>\n But as time went on, Holden’s actions became creepier, with the landlord making unwanted sexual advances and strange comments towards the young mum.<\/p>\n After Holden tracked her travelling to Leeds<\/a> for a date, Heidi began to realise Holden’s unsettling behaviour could mean there were cameras in his home.<\/p>\n Speaking in a documentary<\/a> on Channel 5<\/a>, Peeping Tom: The Landlord and His Secret Cameras<\/a>, after bravely waiving her anonymity, Heidi described the terrifying moment she discovered the hidden recording device in her bathroom.<\/p>\n She said she found it “strange” how there was an alarm sensor in the lavatory and so went to investigate it when she became suspicious there could be cameras in the property.<\/p>\n Heidi grabbed a knife from the kitchen and walked up to the bathroom holding a knife, as to not arouse suspicion to Holden, who was still in the property at the time.<\/p>\n Grabbing a step, and two paint tins, Heidi positioned herself up to the fitting, attempting to pry it open.<\/p>\n In a heart-stopping moment, the knife dropped, making a large “clanging” sound on the floor, potentially alerting Holden to her activity.<\/p>\n Terrified, Heidi quickly composed herself, jamming open the sensor before Holden noticed anything out of the ordinary, she says.<\/p>\n Once the casing was open, the tenant was left speechless as she discovered the words “camera” and “microphone” written inside.<\/p>\n After alerting police, searches were conducted of his other properties which revealed additional hidden cameras<\/a> linked to recording devices.<\/p>\n 6<\/p>\n Robert Holden was jailed for more than six years in 2024Credit: West Yorkshire Police 6<\/p>\n The documentary on the case, Peeping Tom: The Landlord and His Secret Cameras\u00a0on Channel 5, was released this monthCredit: True North Productions 6<\/p>\n It details Heidi’s journey to discovering and exposing the sex offender’s creepy camerasCredit: True North Productions<\/p>\n Holden had been systematically violating his tenants’ privacy for years, using advanced equipment to capture footage without their knowledge.<\/p>\n In addition to secretly filming his tenants, Holden abused his position as the owner of a computer repair business<\/a>.<\/p>\n He conned his shop’s customers by accessing private images and sensitive data from devices entrusted to him for repair.<\/p>\n Further demonstrating the pattern of exploitation, this misuse of trust added another layer of criminality to his depraved behaviour.<\/p>\n The creep was charged with multiple counts of voyeurism and computer misuse but failed to appear in court<\/a> in 2022 before fleeing to Cape Verde.<\/p>\n He remained on the run for 17 months before being extradited back to the UK in September 2023.<\/p>\n Heidi said: \u201cWhen he fled the country to Cape Verde, he just wasn\u2019t taking any responsibility whatsoever.<\/p>\n “I just thought how dare you? When it all happened I was heartbroken.<\/p>\n “I thought I\u2019d ruined his life, ruined his reputation, how is he ever going to come back from this?”<\/p>\n Heidi explained she was ridden with guilt at first after exposing him, but then realised the sleazy landlord “did not care about me at all” and was “not remorseful”.<\/p>\n She continued: \u201cPeople were saying to me \u2018Heidi we can\u2019t believe what you have done to Rob\u2019.<\/p>\n “I was so stunned about how it was turned around on to me. I couldn\u2019t believe nobody believed me.<\/p>\n “So when he fled the country I was determined to make his face known, I was going to do a\u00a0Tindler Swindler<\/a>\u00a0on him and make his face known to the world.<\/p>\n “I believed that this sick individual would do this to other people.”<\/p>\n ‘DEPRAVED AND SELFISH’<\/p>\n In January 2024, Holden eventually pleaded guilty to 31 charges of voyeurism and seven of computer misuse<\/a>.<\/p>\n He was sentenced to six years and two months in prison<\/a>.<\/p>\n Judge Sophie McKone described his actions as “depraved and selfish,” highlighting the severe emotional harm inflicted on his victims.<\/p>\n She added: “You hid behind a veil of respectability, having your own business and being a local government councillor.<\/p>\n “This was well-organised deception at its worst and you deceived people over many years.<\/p>\n “You breached their trust in the most gross way.<\/p>\n “They were entitled to think that these acts were private. You did this to get, in your own words, a cheap thrill.”<\/p>\n![\"Screenshot](\"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/robert-holden-jailed-six-years-985724245_0d4fee.jpg\")
