A 36-year-old man has been accused of fitting pinhole cameras in a bathroom and bedroom to secretly film woman.

Jason Hollings, 36, of Clarence Street, Darwen, also faces drugs charges.

Police said a search warrant was executed at Hollings’ home in July following allegations he was involved in drugs dealing.

Officers said they found cocaine, diazepam and other drug parphanalia.

But in addition police claimed they discovered two pinhole cameras covertly placed in the bedroom and bathroom.

Officers said these were believed to be linked to a computer.

Searches of the computer later found more than 80 images of a number of woman, police said.

Holling was arrested on July 24 but bailed while further inquries were carried out.

This week he was charged with 10 specimen counts of recording another person doing a private act with the intention of viewing the images to obtain sexual gratification knowing the other person did not consent to being recorded.

He is also charged with possessing cocaine and diazepam with intent to supply and possessing amphetamine and ecstasy.

Hollings has appeared before Blackburn magistrates where he was remanded in custody.
