A man filmed 465 men and boys in public toilets without them knowing. Pervert, Troy Green, 22, recorded video and took photos in loos in Birmingham and Solihull.

He was arrested in August last year after West Midlands Police was contacted by someone saying they had been filmed using a public toilet. Green told police had was addicted to vaping and his family disapproved which meant he needed to frequent public loos so often.

Det Cons Stephen Dunford from West Midlands Police said: "Across numerous interviews Green continued to deny the offences despite overwhelming evidence, eventually only accepting responsibility in light of further evidence coming to light."

Detectives found 528 videos and images of 465 victims on devices seized from Green's home. Two of the victims were children, according to West Midlands Police.

Birmingham Mail reports he filmed boys using urinals at a trampoline park and Birmingham's Grand Central station.

The sicko also targeted loos at churches, bars and the campus of a university.

At police interviews, Green protested his innocence and insisted some of the phone didn't belong to him despite the fact he appeared in some of the videos.

He pleaded guilty to two charges of voyeurism, one count of attempted voyeurism and four offences of making or taking indecent images of children.

Green, of Vicarage Road, Birmingham, was sentenced to 22 months in prison at Birmingham Crown Court on Wednesday (April 15).

Prosecutor Daniel White told the court a police officer spotted Green "behaving unusually" and continually watching people as they went into a university library's toilets.

The court heard how Green used a fake name on Snapchat as he manipulated children to remove their clothing and film themselves.

A video found in a Google drive showed a teenage boy removing his clothes and having a shower.

Green was confronted on August 4 by a man who suspected him of filming him in the loos at a Wetherspoon pub at Birmingham Airport where he was working at the time.

Neither pictures nor video were found on Green's phone at the time, but there was a suspicion he deleted them during the confrontation.

Simon Williams, defending, said a psychological assessment failed to identify any mental health conditions.

Mr Williams added: "He does have psychological vulnerability, namely emotional regulation, problems with rejection and problems with abandonment."

The barrister argued Green needed help outside of custody, where he has spent eight months on remand.

He said Green felt bad for what he did, admitting he brought shame upon himself and his family.

Det Cons Dunford said: "We take offences like this extremely seriously and would always encourage people to report suspicious behaviour like this as it is can sometimes be an indicator of more serious offending."
