Man pleads guilty over footage of women getting undressed at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital sleep clinic
A man who worked in a sleep clinic at a major Perth hospital has pleaded guilty to a dozen charges relating to footage of women getting undressed. Police alleged Stuart James King, who worked in IT at the clinic at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital, kept the footage on his personal computer. The clients knew they were to be filmed as part of their analysis and treatment for sleep disorders, but the footage was not intended for anyone's personal use. The footage, which showed the women getting undressed and dressed, was recorded in 2019 and 2020. Police charged King with more than two dozen counts of unlawful use of a computer earlier this year, after executing a search warrant at his home. Appearing in Perth Magistrates Court via video link from prison, the 51-year-old pleaded guilty to 12 charges but the remaining charges were dropped. He is scheduled to appear in court again in September for a sentencing hearing. The man worked in IT at the hospital and was not a clinician. After the charges came to light, North Metropolitan Health Service said "immediate action was taken" as soon as it was informed of the matter and he was no longer employed.
