A Royal
Navy sailor secretly filmed himself having sex with a woman colleague in
the showers of a warship, leaving her feeling ‘horrible and violated’, a
court martial heard.
Leading
Logistician Scott Furber denies a charge of voyeurism in relation to
the incident on board HMS Diamond while docked at Limassol, Cyprus, in
June 2014.
Furber,
29, and the alleged victim agreed to meet for consensual sex in the
showers on board the Type 45 destroyer, against the Navy’s ‘no touching
rule’ for sailors, the court martial at Portsmouth Naval Base was told.
But
before she arrived Furber, who was a chef on board, set his Apple
iPhone on a shelf in the shower and made a ten-minute recording of their
encounter. At one point he can be seen grinning at the camera.
Major
David Whittaker, prosecuting, said: ‘She agreed to meet the defendant
in the shower on board for consensual sex to take place.
'She arrived in the shower and saw the defendant was already there and sexual activity did take place.
‘Unknown
to her when the defendant had arrived in the shower ahead of her, he
had put his iPhone on a shelf and recorded the sexual activity.’
Major
Whittaker said that the recording did not come to light until October
that year when the defendant was asked about it by colleagues and a
superior officer became aware of the incident.
He added that the first the alleged victim knew of it was when the issue was investigated and she was informed by her boss.
Major
Whittaker said that Furber, currently serving at shore-based HMS
Excellent in Portsmouth, initially denied making the recording and had
told investigators that the only recording on his phone was of his
fiancee.
The incident took place on board HMS Diamond at Limassol in Cyprus
She said that they had flirted through Whatsapp text messages and arranged to have sex on board the ship later.
She
said: ‘He had it figured out. He said, “Come and meet me” at a certain
time in the shower – we shared showers, male/female, where we were
living on board.
He said, “The end shower ... I will be waiting ... just give a knock on the door”.
The
alleged victim said that when she was informed that the incident had
been filmed she was ‘shocked, completely shocked’ and it had made her
feel ‘horrible, violated’.She denied that she had agreed to film the sex
earlier that day when they were on the beach. The court martial
continues.
Cheap skate ! Should be court-martialed for indecent intent and behavior...if there's still a shred of military correctness and decency left in the so-called 'Royal Navy'
