Lawmakers, Lawbreakers
When politicians get caught committing crimes, it's like watching a toddler deny eating chocolate with their entire face smeared in it. There they are, standing in front of a podium, sweat glistening under the lights, swearing they “had no idea” that embezzling millions and hiding it in a fake charity called “Save the Puppies Foundation” was wrong. Their excuse? “I was hacked,” “It’s a smear campaign,” or the classic, “This is all news to me,” as if their signature didn’t appear on every shady document like a kid writing their name on the wall with permanent marker. And yet, despite overwhelming evidence, they strut back into office like nothing happened—because in politics, apparently, crime pays... and also gets you a book deal and a Netflix docuseries.

Robert Holden, a Tory councillor and landlord, secretly filmed his lodgers at Row Farm over 14 years, hiding cameras in the bathroom and bedroom to record 29 people, including 27 women. The victims only discovered their horror when police found evidence of Holden's voyeurism in 2020. Despite being first arrested in 2022, Holden failed to show up to court and fled to Cape Verde, remaining there for 17 months before finally returning and pleading guilty to 31 charges of voyeurism and seven for computer misuse between 2006 and 2020.
