A 25-year-old man has been jailed after filming a woman in Leeds train station toilets.
Jordan James Foster has been jailed for over a year after confessing he used his phone to record the 20-year-old. On Friday, July 8, Foster entered the female toilets around 9.31pm before he flashed his camera over the cubicle.
At 10.35pm, as the victim was about to leave a toilet cubicle, she saw him. She left the toilet chamber and alerted other women in the toilets before challenging Foster, who soon ran off.

Following a British Transport Police investigation, Foster was called to Leeds Crown Court on Wednesday (August 31). The resident of Leylands Road, Sheepscar, Leeds, pleaded guilty to a charge of voyeurism and in doing so breaching his Sexual Harm Prevention Order.
He was also handed a seven-year Sexual Harm Prevention Order and must sign the Sex Offenders Register for seven years. Investigating officer DC Gregg Whittaker said: "This was a disgusting invasion of privacy - the victim was justifiably left shaken, upset and violated by Foster's actions.
"The fact that Foster was in breach of a Sexual Harm Prevention Order he had received for a previous offence meant a custodial sentence was inevitable. I hope his time in jail will give him the opportunity to reflect on his sordid behaviour, the impact on his victim and ultimately prevent him from reoffending..
"We will not tolerate unwanted sexual behaviour on the railway and we urge people to report anything that makes them feel uncomfortable. You can call us on 0800 4045040 or text us on 61016 - we'll do the rest."
