A twisted delivery driver who secretly filmed upskirting videos of women while dropping off their parcels, has been jailed.
Kyle Spires filmed covert sexually-motivated videos of 10 women with only two ever identified. One was so serious they led his victims to completely lose trust in men, a judge told him. He added that Spires’ disgusting behaviour had no other motivation “other than for sexual thrills.”
Spires, 36, also had indecent images of children and extreme pornography, which were discovered after a tip off to police. He had his phone seized in October 2023 after police received information stating that he’d uploaded indecent images of children to the internet.
The phone was analysed and found to contain 15 upskirting videos filmed between February and July 2023. Eight of those women on the pervert’s delivery rounds were never identified. Most of the videos appeared to have been taken while Spires was at work, his victims being women receiving deliveries at home or work.
Two victims were identified by police – one who had received a parcel at her workplace and another who had spoken to Spires while he posed as a customer. Police have not said which company Spires worked for.
On Spires’ phone were also 16 category C indecent videos of children, 26 category B videos and 64 category A videos – the most extreme. There were 25 extreme videos of adults engaging in sexual acts with animals. In police interview Spires denied any involvement in the crimes and answered “no comment”.
He was later charged with offences of possessing an extreme pornographic image, three counts of making indecent images of children and three counts of voyeurism – namely recording an image under clothing to observe another without consent.
He pleaded guilty to the offences at his magistrates’ court hearing and was sentenced at Cambridge Crown Court on Friday, where he was handed two years in prison and placed on the Sex Offenders Register for a decade.
This sentence was ordered to be served on top of a two year and four-month sentence imposed from a previous investigation relating to indecent images. Sentencing, Judge Philip Grey, told Spires he would have been fully aware that what he was doing was “criminal and serious”, adding that he posed an ongoing risk to others.
Judge Grey added that, having heard an impact statement from one of the victims, the consequences of the offending had been clear. He told Spires the woman was “angry and has every right to be”, adding that his victim has been deeply disturbed, lost her trust in men she didn’t know and was anxious of being in public – all so Spires could get a “cheap kick”.
Judge Grey said he rejected a claim there was not a sexual motive in the upskirting at the time, adding that there is “no other reason to do this other than for sexual thrills”. He concluded by telling Spires that his behaviour in filming the upskirting videos was disgusting and showed a complete contempt for the women.
DC Matthew Walshe, who investigated, said: “Spires committed these offences while on bail, having already been arrested for making indecent images of children and voyeurism in 2022. Even after pleading guilty to those offences, he continued to offend while waiting to be sentenced.
“Thanks to the assistance from his former employer and a member of the public, two of Spires’ victims were identified so their voices could be heard in court. Despite the remaining women not being identified, the content and context of the videos were so clear that Spires had no choice but to plead guilty.
“Along with the victims of his voyeurism, each image of child sexual abuse shows a real person who is victimised every time these images are shared. I hope Spires reflects on this while in prison.”
