IT worker took secret videos of colleagues
A FORMER IT technician who installed software onto work computers to spy on staff has been jailed.
Andrew Cakebread (36), of
Lower Stone Street, Maidstone, had a total of 6,724 videos of staff members with their families, plus a further 79 webcam videos. Officers initially arrested him after it was reported he had inde- cent images of children saved on his computer. Kent Police’s Paedophile Online
Investigation team executed a warrant at his home and seized a desktop and external hard drive where they found 712 indecent images and 206 videos of chil- dren.
None of these images or videos
involved anyone at his place of work.
When officers searched the
hard drive they also found videos of adults and children being
filmed while working at comput- ers and laptops.
Cakebread’s employers were
unaware of the software and had not authorised its installation. A further review revealed
covert footage taken in the staff toilets.
Cakebread was charged with
three counts of making indecent images of children, observing a
person doing a private act and causing a computer to perform a function to secure/enable unau- thorised access to a program/data. He pleaded guilty to the of- fences and was jailed for 30 months at Maidstone Crown Court. Investigating officer Christina Rookes said: “The breach of trust in this case is astounding. “Andrew Cakebread was in a position of trust and used that to spy on people in their private ac- tivities. “Additionally, he accessed a large amount of child abuse im- ages, fully understanding the im- pact upon the children involved, but nonetheless continued to ex- ploit them.
“I am pleased that our detailed
investigation has uncovered the full extent of his offending and that he has been brought to jus- tice.”
