A professional photographer who was jailed for secretly filming dozens of women with a hidden camera has been sentenced again after further victims came forward.

David Glover filmed young women with a camera disguised as an alarm clock while they got changed for photoshoots.

After he was first jailed for voyeurism offences in 2023, six more victims were identified, including two who were targeted in Peterborough.

On Friday at Cambridge Crown Court, the 51-year-old, of Deeping St James, Lincolnshire, was sentenced to one year and three months in prison but suspended for two years.

"The lengths Glover went to in order to covertly film women without their consent is sickening," said Det Con Pete Wise.

Cambridgeshire Police said 64 more women contacted the force after he was given a 20-month prison term in 2023.

Six were identified as victims of Glover, including a pregnant woman who had a maternity photoshoot in 2016.

Two victims were filmed in Essex in the same year, another woman was filmed between 2012 and 2015, and two others were targeted in Peterborough in 2015 and 2017.

Investigations also revealed Glover sexually assaulted a woman in 2011 at her home in Lincolnshire after being contacted to carry out some photography work, police said.

Glover pleaded guilty to six counts of voyeurism and one count of sexual assault.

He was given a 10-year sexual harm prevention order as part of his sentence.

Its conditions included that he must not offer woman any photographic, fashion, media, styling, modelling or presentational advice or services.

Glover worked as a photographer at various studios in Peterborough and around the south of England between 2011 and 2017.

He had used the covert alarm clock camera to secretly film 103 women in his own home or the changing rooms of three different studios, police said.

A total of 970 videos were stored on a removable hard drive.

His crimes first came to light after a client's partner noticed something strange about the clock in a changing room in 2014.

"I can only imagine how horrified and violated his victims must have felt about being filmed in this way," added Det Con Wise.
