Top Bundoora real estate agent Joshua Allison is jailed for four years for shocking act against women in their homes

A real estate agent has been jailed for almost five years for secretly filming young women, despite his lawyers saying he is less guilty because he has a ‘voyeuristic disorder’.

Joshua Allison, 42, promised his clients at Ray White in Melbourne’s northeastern suburb of Bundoora that he would use “the latest technology available” when selling homes.

But unbeknownst to the customers, the Port Melbourne cop used some of that technology to covertly film and spy on young women through their bedroom windows.

One of Allison’s victims didn’t find out until years later, when police called her.

‘My innocence was taken from me. I just can’t imagine how anyone can take pleasure in doing this to young people,” said one victim, Marie. 9News.

After eventually learning of Allison’s activities, she discovered what was behind a previously disturbing incident.

‘I finished my shower and then I saw an arm pulled out of the window and I completely panicked.

“He did it from the side of the neighbor’s house and we assume he jumped the fence,” she said.

Over a ten-year period, Allison preyed on eleven young women, including his roommate, whom he targeted by installing a hidden camera in the bathroom wall.

Allison’s covert activities finally stopped in January 2021 when the manager of a Coles supermarket caught him filming up the skirts of two little girls.

When police later searched his nearby home, they found a hard drive he called The Collection.

Allison’s lawyers argued in court that his moral culpability was reduced due to his mental disability: he had been diagnosed with a voyeuristic disorder.

But the judge rejected this and sentenced the father to one to four years and ten months in prison.

Allison will also be registered as a sex offender for life.

Marie is now trying to move on with the rest of her life. “I just hope I can live a happy life and learn to trust men and build those relationships,” she said.
