British Airways Pilot on Trial for Secretly Filming Cabin Crew During Sex
Tim Capron denies voyeurism after secretly filming a British Airways crew member during sex and sharing videos with a fellow pilot in a planned scenario, prosecutors say.
- On Thursday, a jury of seven men and five women acquitted Tim Capron of voyeurism after a three-day retrial that took five hours, ending proceedings that began after his September 2021 arrest.
- Capron had matched with the complainant on Tinder after exchanging messages in August 2021; they first met in person on September 6, 2021, at a pub near Capron’s home and met again four days later at his house, Reading Crown Court heard.
- During the encounter the court heard the defendant filmed part of the sexual activity on the defendant’s mobile phone on the bedside table without the complainant’s consent, and WhatsApp showed two videos sent to Steven Farnworth.
- Capron disclosed the case to his employer and was suspended on full pay, while police found an extreme pornography image on his phone, leading to a six-month conditional discharge.
- Messages including the phrase `consensual rape` made the complainant uneasy, and the prosecution said Capron planned a secret virtual threesome, believing she would consent, which the defence disputed.
