Overview
- At Reading Crown Court, messages were read in which Tim Capron asked a fellow pilot if it was safe to share videos while the woman was blindfolded, and the friend replied, "Don't get caught."
- Prosecutors said the complainant noticed a phone light and an open WhatsApp screen showing two videos had been sent during the encounter in September 2021.
- Capron denies voyeurism, telling the court he deleted the material when asked and saying there was no malicious intent and that filming in the dark with a blindfold would keep identities anonymous.
- The jury heard digital evidence including recovered Tinder exchanges, such as an August 24 message from Capron about "consensual rape" that the complainant said made her feel uneasy.
- The court was told Capron previously received a six‑month conditional discharge for possessing an extreme pornographic video, an earlier matter separate from the current charge.
