Following a Thames Valley Police investigation, a man has been sentenced for stalking and voyeurism in Slough.

Graham Lees, aged 46, of no fixed abode, was sentenced to two years and two months in prison at Reading Crown Court on Tuesday 2 December.

The judge also made Lees subject to a 10-year sexual harm prevention order and an indefinite restraining order.

At the same hearing, Lees pleaded guilty to one count each of stalking and voyeurism – recording a private act.

Between December 2023 and February 2024, Lees befriended a woman in her twenties and repeatedly called her from an unknown number after she rejected his sexual advances.

Lees also took her personal items and put a mobile phone in her bedroom to film her without her knowledge.

Lees was arrested on 18 February 2024. He was then re-arrested and charged on 12 July this year.

Investigating officer Detective Constable Laura Bevan said: “The victim has shown remarkable bravery in coming forward and enduring the lengthy investigation.

“The crimes committed by the defendant, stalking and voyeurism, were horrendous, causing significant distress and fear.

“Thanks to the victim’s courage, we were able to bring the offender to justice and ensure that others are protected from similar harm.”
