Upskirting bus driver to appeal sentence

http://au.news.yahoo.com/latest/a/-/...peal-sentence/

A bus driver jailed for at least nine months for filming up the skirts of hundreds schoolgirls will appeal his sentence.

Sentencing Takuya Koaze, 48, in the Downing Centre Local Court on Friday, Magistrate Michael Price said he had filmed "many unwitting victims" after he bought a spy camera in Japan and installed it on a Sydney Transport bus.

Mr Price said the age of the victims was an aggravating factor and added it wasn't an impulsive or isolated event.

"This is a serious pattern of criminal behaviour, more particularly because it was planned."

He sentenced Koaze to one year's imprisonment with a non-probation period of nine months.

Immediately after, Koaze's barrister, Anthony Goodridge, said his client would appeal the sentence.

Koaze had pleaded guilty to three counts of filming people's private parts to obtain sexual arousal, while working as a bus driver.

Police found more than 2500 images and over 60 minutes of footage of girls, some of whom appeared to be as young as 10 or 11.

Doesn't that create a traffic hazard anyway? Talk about distracted driving.
