After taking his child for a swim at a public pool, a father headed to the family changing room to dry off - and to sneakily record mothers and their children undressing.
Mohammad Rizki Ardianta, 32, was caught in the act by one mother, shortly after he had made aneight-minute recording of another woman.
In each video, captured on Ardianta's cellphone, the women were naked and had children with them who were also in the process of getting dressed, New Plymouth District Court was told on Thursday.
Ardianta's offending played out on the morning of July 19 after he and his child had finished their swim at New Plymouth's Todd Energy Aquatic Centre.
The father took his child to a family changing room, and while in there he hit record on his phone and placed it beside his bag at an open 200mm air gap between the adjoining rooms.
The view enabled him to record people who were getting changed in the neighbouring cubicle.
The first recording went for eight minutes and captured a woman with two children, who were naked and getting dressed.
About 30 minutes later, Ardianta made a second recording in similar circumstances but on this occasion the woman, who was in the cubicle with her one-year-old child, spotted the phone on the floor recording her.
