A Nelson health professional who secretly filmed colleagues with a toilet-cam is making another bid for permanent name suppression. The 44-year-old has lodged an appealed to the High Court after Judge David Ruth denied him name suppression on Thursday and convicted him on eight charges of making an intimate visual recording in the Nelson District Court. He had earlier pleaded guilty and was last week sentenced to seven months’ home detention. However, he has appealed a ruling over the release of his name. The man installed a small camera in a bathroom used by staff, capturing video footage of at least 10 colleagues using the toilet. His offending came to light by chance when he lost his tablet computer, and it was recovered by police.
