Aussie man arrested for secretly filming, posting nude photos of woman employer

A gardener was arrested and jailed by Melbourne Court for recording his female employer in compromising situations, and posting her nude photographs after she rejected his proposal.

The Court sentenced Terrence Anthony Georgiou to 3 years and 8 months behind the bars, on Wednesday, on accounts of stalking and filming the victim for over three years, The Age reported.

Georgiou, an organist at the local church was hired by the victim to attend to her garden after they met at a ballroom dancing class that he took with his wife. Soon after, he became obsessed with the woman and started photographing her.

He had also posted a photograph of the woman when she was pregnant that was partially nude, which he had previously acquired from her phone.

In other circumstances, the 52-year-old hid a video camera in his employer's bedroom, while secretly filming her for three years.

In November, Georgiou pleaded guilty to the charges of stalking, dishonestly obtaining property by deception and possessing child porn.

Regarding the offences as "most serious and extremely disturbing", County Court Judge Sue Pullen added, "Suffice to say, [her] activities were none of your business... To say you were obsessed with her is an understatement."

Police investigated and found out that he had previously posted her photographs on her husband's Facebook page and breached the order of restraint 65 times by visiting her property. Besides that, 40 images of child porn was also found with him.

Even though he said, that he had obtained the images from an old phone given to him by the woman, Judge Pullen was convinced that the images belonged to him.

It was revealed that he was charged with the usage of a listening device and criminal damage, in 1992, in regard to another woman he was infatuated with. It was told in the court that, Georgiou was taught to "document everything" as a child, and that his family was the part of a religious cult.

He has to serve time for at least 2 years and 4 months in jail before he is eligible for parole.
