A CLYDEBANK teenager who spent more than two years secretly recording a woman while she was bathing has been told he won’t have to return to court for any further reviews of his case.

Dylan Bell, 19, was handed a community payback order for the offence, which was committed at a property in Sinclair Street between January 2013 and March 2015.

Bell, of Singer Street, admitted recording the woman with the intention of enabling himself or others to look at the footage, and sending the images to a third party.

At first Bell was also charged with intentionally causing another person to look at various images of the woman by sending them to him without his consent, but his plea of not guilty to that charge was accepted by the Crown.

At his sentencing hearing last September, Bell was put under social work supervision for three years and told to carry out 150 hours of unpaid community work within eight months for behaviour which Sheriff William Gallacher described as “reprehensible”.

Bell returned to Dumbarton Sheriff Court on Thursday after a social work report was requested on the order’s progress.

His solicitor said simply: “It appears this is a good review.”

Sheriff Gallacher told Bell: “This is much better in terms of what is required. I’m not going to fix a further review.”
