A man who filmed himself carrying out sex acts across Cheshire has been jailed
Lewis Spencer, 23, has also been ordered to sign the sex offenders register indefinitely.
The court heard how in December 2023, Spencer walked behind a colleague whilst working at a fast-food establishment in Macclesfield.
The victim sensed Spencer was recording her, and felt was touched by him.
After their shift ended, the victim told her manager about the incident and how it had made her feel uncomfortable.
The manager checked a CCTV camera in the store which revealed Spencer had been carrying out a sexual act behind the victim, without her knowledge.
During the incident he touched her with his penis while he recorded himself on his mobile phone.
The incident was immediately reported to police and Spencer was arrested on suspicion of sexual assault at his home address on Thursday 28 December 2023.
He appeared at Chester Crown Court earlier this week, where he was jailed for two years and six months.
Spencer, of Birch Road, Congleton, had previously pleaded guilty to five counts of sexual assault, seven counts of exposure and possession of extreme pornography.
Following the sentencing, Detective Inspector Robert Lees said: "Spencer is an incredibly dangerous and perverse individual who preyed on innocent and unwitting women who were simply going about their daily lives.
"He was surreptitious in his actions, with his victims having no idea of the depraved acts he was carrying out.
