PERV GETS TOMTHS FOR SPYING ON KIDS IN LEISURE CENTRE

Sicko caged over lewd acts using mirrors and phones

- 

A MAN who spied on naked children in a leisure centre has been jailed for just 15 months.

Louis Nugent used a vile scheme of mirrors and mobile phones to film young girls getting changed in the cubicles of the Aura Leisure Centre in Letterkenny, Co Donegal.

Judge John Aylmer said the offences involved a “very gross invasion of privacy of young girls”.

Father-of-eight Nugent, 67, appeared at Letterkenny Circuit Court after being caught by a horrified father of two girls.

Former carpenter and taxi driver Nugent was caught carrying out the lewd acts on a number of occasions.

His seedy operation only came to light when two girls, aged 12 and 14, refused to go to swimming lessons at the Aura Leisure Centre after they became victims of the pervert.

Det Garda Stephen Moyles said the sisters were in a changing cubicle on November 15, 2017, when the younger girl noticed a mobile phone appear below a partition with the next cubicle.
