A former government lawyer has been handed a 24-month community order in one of the first convictions under a new law against upskirting.
Daren Timson-Hunt, of Stanford-le-Hope, Essex, was sentenced at Westminster Magistrates' Court in London on Thursday.
The 54-year-old admitted a charge of operating equipment beneath the clothing of another without consent.
The court heard that Timson-Hunt used a mobile phone to take covert images under the dress of woman at Embankment station as she travelled to a job interview on the London underground on July 1.
The Crown Prosecution Service said Timson-Hunt is the fourth man convicted in separate cases since a new law was brought into force under the Voyeurism (Offences) Act in April.
