No jail for the perv

What do you have to do to get sent to jail? The ODT reports:

Central Otago hostel owner Phillip Anderson filmed his female guests for a year through a two-way mirror he installed in their bathroom, a court has been told.

When he finally felt remorseful about what he was doing, he ripped the camera out and destroyed the tapes — except for a two-hour highlights package which he watched during pornography evenings with a friend.

Let’s see if I have this right? He felt remorseful, so he made a highlights package!!!

Anderson, 44, who was running a backpackers hostel at Tarras, near Wanaka, was yesterday sentenced in Alexandra District Court to 150 hours’ community work and nine months’ supervision, The Southland Times reported.

That is such a betrayal of trust, I am amazed he only got community work. Disgusting.
