I was stunned when man I’d known 25 years was arrested for voyeurism, then cops turned up my door with sickening footage

HOME for most people is a sanctuary, but for Lucy Domaille, the feeling of safety was stolen by a man she believed she could trust. Lucy had known Kirk Bishop for 25 years and was flabbergasted when he was arrested for voyeurism, never imagining that she too was one of his victims. Lucy Domaille was a victim of voyeurism, after a man she had known for 25 years, Kirk Bishop, secretly filmed her getting undressed through her window Credit: Chris George Kirk Bishop received six years for burglary-related offences and two years for voyeurism – the maximum available Credit: Guernsey Police But horrifyingly Lucy learned that Bishop had been secretly filming her getting undressed through a gap in the curtains as he crouched outside her window. And Lucy wasn’t the only victim – there were 29 known others – and the maximum sentence for voyeurism in Guernsey’s Magistrate’s Court was just two years. Sign up for the Fabulous newsletter Thank you! Feeling failed by a system she believed offered little protection, Lucy refused to stay silent. Even after Bishop was jailed for eight years in total in May 2026, Lucy continued to campaign for change, and is speaking out to raise awareness and demand stronger safeguards for victims as she is determined that no one else should endure the same betrayal in their own home. Lucy was watching the local news when she heard that Kirk had been arrested – but initially didn’t know she was one of the victims Credit: Bauer Media Lucy had been to school with Kirk, and her worked with her husband Credit: Bauer Media Lucy, 40, says: “The moment I learned someone I trusted had secretly filmed me, my sense of safety shattered. “I hope no one else has to experience what I did.” Lucy Domaille had known Kirk Bishop for years. She had gone to school with him and he worked with her husband, Jack, at a nearby scaffolding firm. Most read in Fabulous Then in September 2025, she was watching the local news when she heard that Kirk had been arrested on voyeurism, burglary and assault allegations. She says: “I was stunned. We lived on the small island with our three children and it was a safe place where people trusted one another and often left their doors unlocked.” Then, three weeks later, plain-clothed officers called at Lucy’s house – an image of her had been found on one of Kirk’s devices. Lucy says: “I was confused. I assumed it must be something innocent, like a photo from Facebook taken at some event. “But then officers showed me the image – my face was clear, my shoulders were naked, but the rest of my body was obscured. “I felt physically sick. I said to the officers, ‘How on earth did he take this? And how did you know it was me?’ “One officer explained the image had been circulated around the police station to identify me. “I stared at him in disbelief. The violation felt endless. “First someone had secretly photographed me. Now strangers had been shown it too.” Then Lucy found out there was also a video of her that Kirk had taken. She says: “It was almost impossible to process. “Someone I had known for decades had hidden outside my home and secretly filmed me through the window.” Police officers told Lucy that an image of her had been found on one of Kirk’s devices Credit: Chris George Lucy felt ‘physically sick’ when she saw the image Kirk had taken of her through the window Credit: Bauer Media Lucy was left in tears, not wanting to go home because she felt unsafe. She says: “Jack was so angry and that night I didn’t sleep at all. “There were so many questions going round my head – how many times has he peered through my curtains? And who has seen it?” In the days that followed, police confirmed there wasn’t just one recording, there were two videos, yet Lucy wasn’t allowed to see them. She says: “I was struggling to process everything. I tried to keep life normal for our children but it was difficult. I was constantly on edge. “Nighttime was the worst and I barely slept. “Every sound outside made me jump, and every shadow through the window felt threatening. “I started checking locks repeatedly, and pulled curtains closed the moment darkness fell.” Lucy’s support worker told her that Kirk would get more than 10 years for his crime, which she felt relieved by. But when she researched the law herself, she was devastated to find that the maximum sentence available for voyeurism offences in Guernsey’s Magistrate’s Court was only two years. Lucy says: “It wasn’t justice to me. When I rang police for clarification, they confirmed my fears. “By now, I knew I wasn’t Kirk’s only victim. What is voyeurism and what does the law say about the crime? VOYEURISM is the practice of getting sexual pleasure from watching others when they are naked or are engaged in sexual activity. It also involves getting enjoyment from seeing the pain or distress of others. The crime falls until Section 67 of the Sexual Offences Act of 2003. There are four subsections under voyeurism: Getting sexual pleasure while watching another person doing a private act and they have not consented Operating equipment with the intention of having them or someone else watching for sexual gratification from an unconsenting person doing a private act Recording an unconsenting person doing a private act and does with intention of them or someone else getting sexual gratification Installing equipment, or constructs or adapts a structure or part of a structure with the intention to watching an unconsenting person doing a private act for sexual gratification If you think you are a victim of voyeurism, you should contact the police. In the UK, you should call 101 for non-emergencies, or you can contact the police online or go into a police station. Call 999 if you are in immediate danger. “Yet, despite there being 29 known victims, only 17 charges had been brought because many victims couldn’t be identified. “And because Kirk had already spent nine months on remand, he could serve even less time. I felt utterly let down. “The legal process dragged on for months. Meanwhile, I kept going over everything in my head and each hearing brought fresh anxiety.” In May 2026 Kirk Bishop pleaded guilty to a total of 14 charges, which included burglary, voyeurism, trespass with intention to create a sexual offence and upskirting. There would be no trial, only sentencing. Lucy says: “By then I knew I wasn’t going to stay silent. I spoke out in the media, because I wanted victims to know they weren’t alone. “And I wanted people to understand exactly what had happened. “I also wanted to highlight what I believed were serious weaknesses in Guernsey’s voyeurism laws.” A few weeks later, Judge Finch sentenced Bishop. During his 52 years of legal experience, the judge said he had only encountered two similar cases and that this case was worse than anything he had seen before. Bishop received six years for burglary-related offences and two years for voyeurism – the maximum available. Lucy says: “Knowing he’s behind bars for eight years gave me no relief. It didn’t suddenly erase all the damage he’d caused. “Even today, nine months later, I still check my locks and curtains obsessively. “And I make sure my daughter has them drawn when she’s getting changed. “I’ve not seen the videos he took of me, but have been told there is probably more out there. “People have asked why I don’t move house. But this is my home, why should I be the one to leave? “If there’s one positive to come from everything, it’s that conversations have begun about changing the law. “I hope future victims receive greater protection and offenders face tougher consequences.”
