A HIGH-FLYING young accountant was caught with 1,700 ‘upskirt’ images of women he had filmed on his iPhone, a court heard.
Leon Chan, who works for global giant PricewaterhouseCoopers, was found out after trying to film a customer at Top Shop in Oxford Circus, London.
A store detective saw him behaving suspiciously with his phone as the unsuspecting woman was bending over, Westminster magistrates were told.
Chan was detained and immediately handed over his phone and its PIN.
Police examined the device and found the vast stash of images.
Michael Magarian QC, defending, said Chan could be ‘described as a high-flyer’ and had achieved a first-class degree in economics at Leeds University.
Mr Magarin added: ‘He is in a very, very good job. All of this behaviour was during a short period over Christmas and he will now face professional disciplinary proceedings.’
Chan, of Whitechapel, east London, admitted one count of outraging public decency by filming or attempting to film up women’s skirts, on or before January 1 this year. He will be sentenced later at Southwark crown court after magistrate Victoria Readman told him: ‘We are very concerned in relation to the seriousness of the offence.’
