A government worker who repeatedly hid a camera in a gym changing room has lost his appeal to be discharged without conviction and keep his name secret. However, interim suppression will remain in place for 10 days in case a further appeal is filed. The man hid a video camera in the unisex changing rooms of a gym he attended and made recordings on four different occasions in 2017. The man’s lawyer, Ron Mansfield, appealed the case to the Court of Appeal, saying the summary of facts was incorrect. “Justice Moore was of the view that knowledge of the fact a high-ranking public servant had committed this type of offending was clearly in the public interest.”
