Sleazy dentist Daniel Stocks is today exposed as a pervert who secretly filmed women as they went to the toilet.

Stocks used his mobile phone to record his victims as they used the loos in his dental surgery and a home in Northumberland.

The dentist’s seedy stash of videos, which he collected over 11 months, was only discovered when one of the women caught him out and his phones and computers were seized by police.

Now the peeping Tom, who worked at the Always Smiling Dental Clinic, in Throckley, Newcastle, is facing a possible prison sentence after admitting eight counts of voyeurism at Newcastle Magistrates’ Court.

The dad admitted taking the videos for his own sexual gratification.

Suzanne Adcock, prosecuting, said that, when Stocks realised one of his phones had been discovered, he immediately erased the content on it and dashed out to buy a new one of the same make.

She said: “On November 5 2013, the victim was using toilet facilities. She was facing the wash basin when she noticed a light flashing. She searched among the towels and noticed an iPhone set in video mode, facing towards the toilet area.”

The court heard the victim approached Stocks about the phone and he took it away.

But, that night, he erased all its material and dashed out to to buy another phone of the same make and model in a bid to cover his tracks.

The next day, however, the victim informed the police and Stocks was arrested.

Ms Adcock added: “His property was searched and various computer equipment was seized. Two movie files were found dating back to January 12 2013.”

The court heard a number of videos were found dating between January 1 2013 and November 6 2013.

Stocks, 36, initially denied the offences in interview but later went on to admit them.

Bill Davidson, mitigating, said the case could be sentenced in the magistrates’ court as Stocks only made the videos for his own use.

He said: “This doesn’t fall into sentencing guidelines.

“He deserves credit for admitting it in interview and again today.

“He also doesn’t circulate the video footage.”

But District Judge Jane Hamilton disagreed and said the case was so serious, it should be sent to Newcastle Crown Court for sentence.

She said: “I’m not convinced. I think it’s a matter that’s not for this court to sentence.”

Stocks, of High Meadow House, Hedley, Stocksfield, Northumberland, was released on unconditional bail to appear at Newcastle Crown Court on July 30.
