British Airways pilot 'secretly filmed himself spanking naked crew member with a riding crop before sending it on without consent', court hears

A British Airways pilot allegedly filmed himself spanking a cabin crew member with a riding crop before sending the video to a friend without her consent. 

The court heard that Tim Capron, 37, met the woman on Tinder where they discussed their sexual fantasies. 

Capron, after having sex with the woman, asked her to wear a blindfold before he smacked her backside with the crop. He then shared photos and videos of the actions with his friends on Whatsapp. 

Reading Crown Court heard that when the woman found out what Capron had done he said: 'I am so sorry. I am glad that you caught me doing it because I should not have done it.' 

The Sun reports that Capron was then arrested two weeks later in September 2021 after the woman reported him to the police. 

Capron, who earns £90,000 a year as a pilot, messaged fellow BA pilot Steve Farnworth claiming it was safe to send 'a few videos' while the woman was blindfolded. 

Prosecutor Stefan Weidmann said: 'You knew what you were planning to do was bang out of order.

'You are an educated man, Oxford, you fly a plane worth millions. You knew full well that she did not consent to being filmed.'

Capron, who was suspended by BA on full pay in December, told the jury: 'I thought she would enjoy Steve enjoying what she looked like, so to speak.

'At the end of the day, that was my mistake.'

The Jury heard, that Capron had enjoyed threesomes and had also been filmed in the past.  

Capron, of Taplow in Berkshire, denies one count of voyeurism. 

The trail continues.
