Teesside Technician Jailed for Secret Filming After Court Hears of AI Child Image Offences

The judge cited his AI-generated images of girls as he imposed lifelong restrictions.

Overview

  • Thomas Milton, 32, was sentenced to three years in prison at Teesside Crown Court and placed under a lifelong Sexual Harm Prevention Order.
  • A jury in November convicted him of five counts of voyeurism, and he had earlier admitted three counts of creating indecent pseudo-photographs of children.
  • Police said he hid a TikTok Shop spy camera in changing rooms and in a woman’s bedroom, recording women and teenage girls, some as young as 14.
  • The investigation began when a child found a device hidden in an air conditioning unit, prompting detectives to seize up to 35 devices and review six years of footage.
  • Victims described feeling unsafe and traumatized, and the judge rejected Milton’s denials as “palpable nonsense,” noting his lack of remorse and sexual motivation.
