Sailor ‘secretly filmed sex with colleague in showers of a warship : HMS Diamond harboured at Limassol in Cyprus

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.

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.
