A Port Melbourne real estate agent has been jailed for secretly filming young women inside their homes.
One of Joshua Allison’s victims, Marie* said she felt like her innocence was stripped away from her after she was filmed in her bedroom without her consent.
The 25-year-old told 9News she was filmed through her window.
“I had finished having my shower and I saw an arm pull from the window and I was completely freaked out,” Marie said.
“He was doing it from the neighbours’ side of the house, we assume he had jumped the fence.
“I just can’t fathom how someone could get enjoyment from doing that to young people.”
Over the past decade, Allison preyed on 11 young women, including his female housemates.

He installed a hidden camera in their bathroom wall.
Allison was caught in January 2021, after a manager at Coles in Port Melbourne caught him trying to film up the skirts of two young girls.
Following his arrest, police searched his home, where they found a hard drive, titled “The Collection”.
Allison’s defence team argued his moral culpability was reduced because of his mental impairment after the 42-year-old was diagnosed with a “voyeuristic disorder”.
The judge dismissed this today, and sentenced Allison to four years and 10 months in jail.

Marie’s* name has been changed.
