Andrew Bird also used a dog as a way to get pictures, either by taking them when he bent down to stroke the animals or when his victims did so.

Others were targeted in parks or even in homes where he managed to plant recording devices.

Norwich Crown Court was told the 55-year-old had photographed or videoed at 16 victims - none of who can be identified for legal reasons - over a five year period.

She said Bird, a former Anglian Water engineer, would hold his phone under a table and angle it upwards as women came over to speak to him to capture images of their genitals, buttocks and underwear.

Another child victim had videos of her taken by Bird while she was getting changed in her bedroom.
