An alleged upskirt pervert accused of targeting schoolgirls and women appeared in court today.
Daniel Jones is charged with secretly filming up the skirts of females of various ages, including children.
The 26-year-old, of Fairlie Drive, Rainhill , attended a hearing at Liverpool Magistrates' Court this morning.
Jones is charged with an act outraging public decency , at various locations, between May 9, 2017 and May 9, 2018.
According to the charge, he "in a public place committed an act outraging public decency by behaving in an indecent manner, namely filmed females of various ages, some children, up their skirts without their knowledge or permission".
He also faces a charge of making an indecent photograph or pseudo-photograph of a child, at an unknown location, between the same dates.
Jones allegedly "made indecent photographs, namely upskirting photographs of female children in school uniform".
He is further charged with voyeurism - "recording a private act" - between the same dates, again at an unknown location.
According to the charge, Jones "recorded another person doing a private act with the intention that it would, for the purpose of obtaining sexual gratification, look at an image of that other person doing the act, knowing that the other person did not consent to your recording the act with that intention".
He gave no indication of his plea and spoke only to confirm his personal details during the short hearing.
The defendant, with short brown hair, a goatee beard, and wearing a blue check suit and brown shoes, then sat in silence.
Linda Melia, prosecuting, asked for the case to be committed to the higher court, which magistrates agreed to.
They granted Jones unconditional bail and said he will next appear at Liverpool Crown Court on December 3.
