Overview

  • Judge Timothy Greene sentenced Torben Stig Hersborg to three years and five months in prison after he pleaded guilty to eight counts of voyeurism.
  • His covert campaign spanned from 2012 to 2024 and produced roughly 2,000 hidden images of women in his Old Street clinic, on public transport, at beaches and inside private homes.
  • A tip-off in December 2024 led police to discover telescopic lenses, a video camera and black plastic sheeting in his Lexus parked outside student accommodation.
  • Victims could not be identified from the imagery, so prosecutors depended on device analysis and digital forensics to establish the scale and sophistication of his offences.
  • Hersborg has been placed on the sex offenders register indefinitely and is subject to a Sexual Harm Prevention Order banning him from carrying cameras or telescopic lenses in public after his release.
