In 2026, the Offender Database recorded that Joshua Snow, 28, of Bemrose Drive, Radcliffe-on-Trent, was jailed for spying on teenage girls at a school in Nottinghamshire. On appearing at Nottingham Crown Court on Tuesday 10 March 2026, the former school caretaker pleaded guilty to two counts of voyeurism. It was reported that the incident was discovered on 5 March 2025, when students noticed a mobile phone positioned above a locked changing room door.
The investigation established that Snow used his position of trust to gain access to private areas. Nottinghamshire Police reported that CCTV footage placed Snow in the corridor at the precise time the girls reported being photographed. The prosecution reported that although Snow claimed he was merely checking emails, forensic analysis of his phone proved the camera had been active during the incident and that he had deleted images from the device the following day.
Judicial Findings and Investigative Detail
The court reported that Snow’s actions constituted an appalling breach of trust and a severe invasion of privacy. Nottingham Crown Court heard moving testimony regarding the impact of the offending, with one victim courageously detailing how the incident had affected her. The investigation established that Snow’s initial denials were eventually abandoned in the face of the digital evidence recovered by specialist officers.
Police Constable Matthew Holden noted that Snow had been left with no alternative but to admit his guilt once his phone analysis proved his protests were lies. For his actions in Nottinghamshire, Snow was handed a nine-month custodial sentence. The judge noted the vulnerability of the victims and the calculated nature of the offence, ordering that Snow be made the subject of a Sexual Harm Prevention Order (SHPO) for 10 years.

Monitoring and Public Protection
Snow is managed by the National Probation Service in Nottinghamshire. Due to the nature of his conduct in a school setting, his management is subject to scrutiny to ensure he does not occupy roles that allow access to children or private facilities. Authorities state that his 10-year SHPO is a vital safeguard that allows police to monitor his residency and his possession of internet-enabled devices, ensuring the safety of the public and preventing further predatory digital activity.
As a member of the Sex Offenders Register, Snow must comply with all notification requirements regarding his identity and residence. Authorities state that his history of voyeurism in Nottinghamshire necessitates vigilance. Any future attempt to work in a school environment, hide digital hardware, or engage in inappropriate behaviour in Radcliffe-on-Trent or elsewhere will result in immediate arrest and a return to the court system for further incarceration.
