A serial voyeur caught filming men using public toilets again has been given his 'last chance' by a judge. Adrian Grace, from Salford, walked free from court today (August 21) despite a 'string' of previous convictions for the same offence.
Manchester Crown Court heard Grace had hundreds of videos on his phone he had recorded in public toilets. The 54-year-old had been issued an anti-social behaviour order (ASBO) 10 years ago following one of his voyeurism convictions - but carried on regardless as he 'could not control himself'.
Prosecuting, Tobias Collins described Grace as a 'known sex offender' who 'takes pictures and videos of men using the toilet without their consent'. His latest conviction follows an incident that unfolded last December 8 at Manchester Airport.

Mr Collins said Grace entered the toilets at Terminal 2 arrivals at around 11am that day with two mobile phones. The court heard Grace positioned himself in a cubicle, waited for someone to arrive in one of the next cubicles, before placing his phone underneath the dividing wall to record his victims.
One of his victims noticed the phone and asked Grace 'are you taking pictures of me?', to which Grace replied 'no I'm not', Mr Collins said. The court heard Grace moved into a different cubicle while his victim 'searched the immediate surroundings' in a bid to find the offender.
After being unable to find Grace, the victim contacted the police, who arrested Grace at the scene and confiscated his phones. Mr Collins said officers examined the phones for evidence before finding 'hundreds of videos taken by the defendant in public places', dating between January 2019
