A PEEPING Tom was caught after his victim's dog alerted her to her bathroom window.
Bakshish Singh, 27, snooped outside the woman's property in Eastwood on November 9, 2023.
The victim - who was in a bath at the time - had her back to her open window.
Her dog leapt towards the window ledge which made the woman aware of Singh's presence.
The pervert was also seen putting his phone in the bathroom window two days later and was caught on her video doorbell.
He went on to tell police officers: "Next month I get married, this will have a bad effect on marriage."
Singh pleaded guilty today at Glasgow Sheriff Court to two charges of observing the woman doing a private act.
The court heard the woman ran a bath while on a break from working from home.
She opened the top of her bathroom window due to ventilation fan issues before getting into the tub.
Prosecutor Redmond Harris said: "At this point, her dog began jumping at the window ledge and sniffing towards the window which she thought was strange.
"She heard a shuffling noise coming from the front door which was beside the bathroom window.
"She turned around while in the bathroom and something came to her attention."
The woman - believing it was a delivery person - shouted for her parcel to be left on the porch.
Singh remained at the property for a few seconds before he left.
The hearing was told that two days later the woman was cleaning her bathroom with the window ajar again.
Mr Harris said: "She heard a noise coming from the window and looked up to see a black mobile phone halfway through it facing inside."
The "panicked" victim called the police to report the matter and Singh was later traced after officers viewed video doorbell footage.
He made the comment about getting married as well as other admissions that he "would not do it again."
Sentence was deferred pending background reports until January by Sheriff Shirley McKenna who put Singh on the sex offenders register and granted him bail meantime.
