Mum discovered neighbour was a paedo — who photographed her SUNBATHING during lockdown
A HORRIFIED mum discovered that her neighbour was a paedophile — who had photographed her sunbathing.
Kim Leary, 39, was alarmed when she saw Craig Dunderdale’s home searched by police who bundled his computers into a van.
Cops found he had 1,667 porn pictures and dozens of indecent photographs of children after raiding his home in 2020.
But they also learned he had secretly taken more than 50 pictures and videos of Kim in a swimsuit sunbathing in her garden during lockdown.
Nurse Kim, a mum of two from Chester, said: “It turns out he had videos which zoomed in on my bum, boobs and feet.”
She added: “I always knew he was a bit of a weirdo. He was a loner, he didn’t seem to have any friends or a partner.

“If anything, I always felt sorry for him, but never in a million years did I think he’d do anything like this.”
Dunderdale pleaded guilty last September to making indecent photographs of a child, possessing extreme pornographic images, possessing a prohibited image of a child, and voyeurism.
In an victim impact statement, Kim told the court: “Living next to him destroyed my life.”
At Chester crown court he was ordered to pay her £4,000 compensation, given a suspended sentence and placed on the sex offenders register for ten years.

Dunderdale has moved away — but Kim has been left traumatised.
She said: “Sitting in the garden still makes me paranoid.”
