A Gloucestershire, England woman lying in bed naked realized she was being spied on when she saw a mirror and a smartphone dangling down outside her bedroom window. Andrew Stoodley, 56, pleaded guilty to voyeurism at Stroud Magistrates' Court on Wednesday.

The father of two, claims he believed he was invited to watch his naked neighbor so he attached a mirror and then a smartphone to a stick and dangled them outside her window.

The peeping tom admitted to taking more than 100 pictures of his neighbor sunbathing in her garden over a period of three years. Prosecutor Peter Ashby says Stoodley described the act as a game and felt he was invited to look. According to Ashby, the neighbor didn't realize what was going on for several years.

One evening in late July, the unidentified woman got undressed and went to bed naked. She was reportedly preparing to move and so there were no curtains along her window.

Shortly thereafter, she noticed a mirror about the size of an A4 sheet of paper dangling from outside her window. The mirror was then replaced with a smartphone, which she believed was recording her.

Noticing something odd, the woman made an attempt to hide from the perverts view, only to discover him standing nearby with a mobile telephone in hand.

Stoodley, whose lawyer said didn't even realise he was doing anything illegal, was handed a 16-month conditional discharge.

"He is a man of previous good character," said Nicola Colwill, Stoodley's lawyer. "There is no suggestion he is of concern. There is no suggestion of predatory behaviour and there are no aggravating factors."
