A Government manager who planted a spy camera in a gym bathroom has lost his appeal, meaning he will not escape conviction and the public will finally learn who he is.
The man captured nearly 40,000 images of unsuspecting men and women in various states of undress.
He was originally granted a discharge without conviction and permanent name suppression.
However, police appealed that result on the basis the wrong summary of facts was used at the sentencing, minimising the seriousness of the offending as an isolated incident.
In reality, the offending included four separate dates in November 2017.
