A Pervert who secretly filmed “up-skirt” footage of women on the London Underground has avoided jail by claiming he is addicted to sex

Nicholas Holt, 41, was caught using his mobile phone camera to film up the skirt of a woman commuter at Tottenham Court Road Underground station. Suspicious passengers reported him to Tube staff and he was arrested.

Police found two up-skirt videos on Holt’s mobile while a raid on his house in Romford found a further 128 similar videos stored on hard disks.

Holt admitted one count of outraging public decency when he appeared at Westminster magistrates’ court earlier in the year.

Andrew Moxon, defending, told the court his client had been seeing a counsellor to help deal with his sex addiction.

Holt, who owns a computer repair shop in Brentwood, was ordered to take a course for sexual offenders and given a 12-month supervision order.
