A 'Peeping Tom' pervert has been jailed after he tried to film a teenage girl.
Daniel Larson, 34, Wembley Way in Stockton, was found guilty of voyeurism by a jury at court but upon hearing the verdict the twisted deviant tried to climb out of the dock.
Security guards and a police officer stepped in and restrained him. Larson continued on and shouted threats at the jury, leaving three members in tears, before threatening the judge, reports Teeside Live.
Next, he ripped the telephone in the glass dock area of court out of it's socket, and threw it across the room, narrowly missing 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."
The judge rejected his 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.
As well as the 16-month prison sentence, Larson, was subjected to a sexual harm prevention order for 10 years.
