Bit of background me and my hd have been together 11years married for 9. We have a DS together.
My DH has never been I to porn as such but sometimes looks at strange pics but not porn.
For years now I've occasionally come across very odd google searches but never really understood what it was about.

We have just come back from a 2week holiday and really reconnected after a few rocky years.

We recently bought a MacBook and my DS and DH share the Apple ID.
My DS called me in to change his screen saver and the PC just went into photosteam and I'm sickened.
I sent DS away so I could see what these pics were and on our holidays when we was so say reading on his ipad there are tonnes of pics of women bending over, them lying down on sun loungers with pics up there skirts. There is about 50odd pics of all diff women.

What the hell do I do? This is not a isolated incident as last year I found loads of downloaded pics and videos on our shared PC and after doing some digging he was getting round the Internet filter by using searches of "ups" clearly "up skirt" pics. After confronting last year I made it clear if this ever happened again he was out!

What the hell do I do? Is it me am I a prude or is this behavior or him not at all on?

I could do with advise if I should confront him or not?

Thanks in advance

Perhaps you won't have to give evidence. All the evidence is on the computer. That may be enough. (I have no expertise or knowledge in this, mind.)

Herewegoagain2014 · 10/10/2014 14:34

UPDDATE: I will be confronting him tonight.
I put restrictions on the pc to unable him to delete history and he went and rebooted the whole pc loosing years worth of pictures in order to cover up what he's doing.

I'm fuming at the confrontation will be tonight. Luckily I have copies of everything!

I want answers from him then I am kicking that fucker out!

Tbh OP I've always thought it was unlikely you would report him to police because the reality of testifying against your own husband is grim.

I don't think you're going to get answers by confronting him, and I wouldn't let him know you have copies of those pics if you're even considering going to police.

I know some of the guys who search computers for a couple of police forces, I doubt very much if he is tech savvy enough to delete the evidence so well that they can't find it.

What consenting adults do is up to them but taking pictures of unsuspecting women and girls is very creepy and perverted.

I'm not an expert, but: As to whether he has commited an offence, as I understand it that depends on where the photo was taken, whom it is of and what he has done with it. Creating images of minors is of course an offence, as is distributing them. They may need to find the women he has taken pictures of, but case law in this area may mean they can prosecute without finding the women in the photos.

For your own peace of mind I would suggest finding someone in RL to talk it through with and going to the Police with the evidence is probably the best course of action. After telling him he is gone of course.

Please bear in mind that men who start off doing stuff like this generally escalate their inappropriate sexual activity. It isn't a small thing: asking him to go is a good way to protect yourself and also from your child picking up his father's attitudes and habits.

Thanks Hampshire - I will be speaking to my best friend tonight.
She knows past history with the cheating and she was fantastic support!

I need to have it out with him before he goes. For my sake not his. I owe him nothing but this is for me!

Good luck Herewego. Don't be swayed immediately by anything he says; whatever he says or does (tears, pleading, promises etc) you would not be unreasonable to insist on a couple of weeks of peace from him - without him around - in which to think about it.

BitOutOfPractice · 10/10/2014 17:57

Oh good luck! See if you can have someone on standby in case he kicks off

MildDrPepperAddiction · 10/10/2014 18:01

That is a huge violation. He's a pervert. It shows a complete lack of respect for women.

I couldn't get past that.

Joysmum · 10/10/2014 18:15

Good for you. He lacks boundaries with you and other women and I feel physically sick at the thought of men like him on the prowl. We need to be kept safe from the likes of him Sad

How do you mean rebooted the computer and lost the pics, rebooting the machine wouldn't normally delete files....

hamptoncourt · 10/10/2014 18:51

I wouldn't get your hopes up re finances.

If you are married then he is legally entitled to half the assets of the marriage, regardless of whose name things are in and who has contributed what.

It wouldn't make a blind bit of difference if he ends up being a convicted sex offender, his financial entitlement would be the same.

I hope it all goes OK for you but I agree with PP who say you know enough - tell him it's over, report him, and start to move on with your life.

Wishing you well OP with tonight.

From a story in today's Independent: Under S67 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003 watching or recording a person doing a private act, for sexual gratification, knowing the other person does not consent, is an imprisonable offence.

melw74 · 10/10/2014 20:01

I would not be staying with a man like this no matter what... What a disgrace. I cant tell you how i would feel if i found out some man had pictures of my knickers etc Looking up my skirt..... someone invading my privacy like this....You can confront him, but whats the end result going to be. Hes not going to be able to have a explanation for what you've found, there is no excuse for what hes been doing at all... hes just a pervert, and i for one would not stay with someone like this.
