A FORMER finance director who took almost 700 covert videos of colleagues has been struck off.

Mark Logan, 48, planted spy cameras hidden in digital clocks at the Wheatley Group headquarters in Glasgow, where he previously worked.

Between May 2015 and 2016, along with filming in his workplace, Logan also made secret recordings while on business trips in London.

Logan, of Tweedsmuir Crescent in Bearsden, pleaded guilty to the charges of voyeurism and sexual assault at Glasgow Sheriff Court.

He was given a two-year supervision order, meaning he will have to comply with strict social work rules and work with psychologists.

He has now been barred by professional watchdog ICAS after being found guilty of professional misconduct.

As previously reported by the Evening Times, the 48-year-old, of Tweedsmuir Crescent in Bearsden, sexually assaulted someone while they were asleep and has now been placed on the sex offenders register.

During the investigation into Logan’s crimes, 685 videos were recovered from five devices, including hard drives and “battery operated clocks with a covert camera which filmed through the mirrored face”.

Of these videos, 341 were found to have been filmed in the office toilet and three people were filmed using the facility.

Between May 2015 and 2016, along with filming in his workplace, Logan also made secret recordings while on business trips in London and at Edinburgh’s George Hotel.

When confronted, Logan said: “I’ve been bottling it up for 20 years and I don’t want to be gay.”
