HUNDREDS of covert videos filmed by an office pervert are to be permanently destroyed, a court has ordered.

Mark Logan, former finance chief at Scotland’s biggest social landlord, secretly recorded 685 videos of colleagues in toilets and on business trips.

The shamed 48-year-old, who was sacked from his position at the Wheatley Group and arrested in May 2016, appeared at Glasgow Sheriff Court for sentencing yesterday.

During the hearing, Sheriff Joseph Platt ordered the destruction of all the videos and the devices they were filmed on.

The court heard previously the materials – three cameras which had been hidden in digital clocks, a hard drive and a micro SD card - contained hundreds of videos of colleagues.

In one film Logan could be seen planting the spy camera on the bedside table in a hotel room to record one of his victims.

Another showed Logan performing a sex act on himself with a tie.

Sheriff Platt said as a protection to the public and to Logan’s victims, all the materials should be permanently destroyed.

As reported in our home delivery editions last night, he also ordered Logan to serve a two-year supervision order, meaning he will have to meet regularly with the social work department and psychologists.

Logan, of Tweedsmuir Crescent in Bearsden, was warned if he breached his supervision order he could face a jail sentence.

Advocate Anthony Graham, Logan’s solicitor, told the court his client had “essentially given up his entire career” as a result of his crimes. He said: “As a chartered accountant in the public sector he was in receipt of a substantial six-figure salary and pension rights.

“He goes from that place to a disciplinary hearing with the Institute of Chartered Accountants, which may not end his career totally but will certainly diminish it.”

Sheriff Platt told Logan: “My primary concern [is] the protection of the public and anyone else who may become a victim of your behaviour.

“The steps you took to renounce your employment have had a devastating effect on you and your family and I don’t think a further punitive element is required.”
