Man jailed for secretly filming women and child
Sentencing takes place at Peterborough Magistrates’ Court
Last updated 11th Mar 2026
Sean Eaves, a 41-year-old, has been sentenced to two years in prison after being found guilty of secretly taking intimate photos and videos of two women and a child.
Eaves' actions first came to light in September 2023 when he sent a screenshot of an intimate video involving himself and one of the victims via Instagram messenger.
The subsequent investigation led to his arrest in 2024, where officers discovered the video along with evidence of his connection to the Instagram account on his mobile phone.
Further examination of the phone revealed intimate photos of another woman, taken without her knowledge.
Eaves was initially released on bail, but an anonymous tip later indicated he possessed another mobile phone containing indecent images of children.
A warrant executed in January at a Chatteris residence uncovered a memory card holding 18 indecent videos of a child, secretly filmed by Eaves.
A second phone found in his car also contained eight more indecent videos and 72 photos of the same child.
On 6th March, Eaves, from Hawthorne Road, Finedon, near Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, was sentenced at Peterborough Magistrates’ Court. He pleaded guilty to three counts of voyeurism, one count of disclosing private sexual photographs and films with intent to cause distress, and one count of taking an indecent image of a child.
Eaves was issued a seven-year restraining order for the victims, a ten-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order, and is required to register monthly at a police station for ten years.
DC Amberlie Ford, who led the investigation, commented, “Eaves shamefully took photos of these women and the child without their knowledge, which violated their dignity and privacy, so I welcome the sentence passed down by the courts. I would also like to pay tribute to the victims, whose strength in coming forward and supporting us with a prosecution has led to this result.”
