A pervert secretly filmed a schoolgirl through her bedroom window.
Mark Helliwell walked free from Liverpool Crown Court despite videoing the teenager from outside her home as she got ready for school.
The court heard that 49-year-old Helliwell - of Howbeck Road in Oxton, Wirral - spied on the schoolgirl on numerous occasions over a four-month period, using a camcorder to video her as she changed in her bedroom and bathroom. When police arrested the dad-of-one, a search of his home uncovered a Panasonic camera and memory card containing intimate clips of the girl - including ones showing her putting on makeup at a mirror before school and someone taking a shower.
