Craig France, 33, of Hammond Drive, Fengate, targeted young women at nightclubs and plied them with alcohol before taking them to his property where he had set up hidden cameras.

France recorded himself carrying out sexual acts on some of his victims while they were unconscious or sleeping.

He was arrested in September last year and initially denied the crimes, but pleaded guilty to rape, sexual assault, three counts of voyeurism and exposure at a hearing last month.
During the investigation, police identified four victims, but it’s believed there could be more.
France’s offending came to light in August last year after a woman reported he had raped her two years previous, and she was now aware he had filmed it.
Officers trawled through more than 6,000 disturbing images and videos of several unidentified women, who were secretly filmed at his home between March 2022 and September 2023.
A further three victims were identified from the videos and images.
Officers also found a clip where France was seen naked in daylight at a roadside in the Broxbourne area of Hertfordshire.

On Monday, 31 March, at Cambridge Crown Court, France, was sentenced to 10 years and seven months years in prison. He was also handed an indefinite Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO).
