June 2023 ‘Peeping Tom’ throws phone across courtroom and makes threats as he explodes after being found guilty A “Peeping Tom” pervert who tried to film a teenage girl, has been jailed. Daniel Larson, 34, lost control of himself in court as the jury found him guilty of voyeurism. He tried to climb out of the dock and had to be restrained by security guards and a police officer in court. Larson then shouted threats at the jury, leaving three members in tears, before threatening the judge. He ripped the telephone, kept in the glass dock area of court, out of it’s socket, and threw it across the room, almost hitting his own barrister Robert Mochrie. On Thursday, Judge Jonathan Carroll told Larson: “You made three direct threats to me, but you didn’t frighten or intimidate me. You made four direct threats to the jury. “You showed signs, on two occasions, that you would climb out of the dock and it was only when you were restrained, that I could release the jury – three of whom were in tears. The security guards and the police officer acted speedily and professionally to deal with the situation. “I commend the dock officer, a woman on her own in the dock, who behaved with the utmost professional response. This was an affront to the criminal justice process. The court clerk was distressed.” Judge Carroll rejected Larson’s lame apology because he said that the “jury convicted me on no evidence at all.” “It shows that you are not sorry. It’s a qualified apology,” Judge Carroll said. He jailed Larson for nine-months for voyeurism and added an additional seven-months to the sentence for his contempt of court. In addition to his 16-month prison sentence, Larson, of Stockton, was made subject to a sexual harm prevention order for 10 years.
