A student whose stepfather placed a hidden camera among her teddies just after she turned 18, filming her naked and even “using (her) underwear and sex toys” himself, has called for tougher sentences on voyeurism after he was given a “slap on the wrist” of 22 months in prison. Catherine Simpson, 21, from Northampton, said no-one believed her growing up when she raised concerns about sexually suggestive behaviour from her 48-year-old stepfather Paul Sellwood. Her mother told her Paul “didn’t mean anything” by a “slap on (her) arse” and lewd comments – she has since apologised to Catherine. In September 2021 – just weeks before her 19th birthday – Catherine’s brother called her, explaining he had found a picture of her in her work uniform on their family iPad. When he elaborated to say, “it looks like it has been taken on top of your wardrobe”, she started crying and “shaking”.
