Man jailed for secretly recording people in Crawley school toilet

A man from Crawley has been jailed for 18 months after admitting to secretly recording staff at a school in the town, by planting a recording device in the back seat of a toilet. Steeve Frivolle, 51, of Pound Hill Parade, was sentenced after pleading guilty to 18 charges of voyeurism at the school, which More Radio has not named for legal reasons, between July 2014 and May 2017. Police said Frivolle planted the device on the toilet, before it was eventually spotted by a member of staff. Officers said the offending was targeted at adults, and there is no evidence of any contact offending, while no children or parents or guardians of children at the school were identified as victims. DC Kirstie Neal, of the West Sussex Safeguarding Investigations Unit, said: "This was a lengthy and complex investigation in which we worked closely with partner agencies to ensure that there are no ongoing safeguarding issues and to ensure the victims, all of whom were informed of what had happened, have received the support they need over this very intrusive and distressing offending." Police said Frivolle will be a registered sex offender for ten years and was given a Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO), prohibiting him from entering any toilet other than ones designated for the use of males only, and requiring him to allow police to install software to monitor his use of computers and other electronic devices.
