Celebrity osteopath jailed for voyeurism after spying on thousands of women

GREATER LONDON, ENGLAND, JUL 22 – Torben Hersborg secretly filmed around 2,000 women over 12 years using hidden and telescopic cameras for sexual gratification, leading to a prison sentence and indefinite sex offender registration.

  • Torben Stig Hersborg, a 64-year-old celebrity osteopath from east London, was sentenced on Tuesday to a prison term exceeding three years after being convicted of secretly filming thousands of women over a 12-year period.
  • Hersborg abused patients' trust by installing hidden cameras in his Old Street clinic and used telescopic cameras to film women, including university students, in their homes and public places from 2012 to 2024.
  • Police discovered thousands of explicit photos and videos on his confiscated devices showing women undressing, showering, and involved in sexual activities, with prosecutors describing Hersborg as a highly active and persistent offender in London.
  • Judge Timothy Greene described Hersborg's conduct as a serious violation of trust and issued an order restricting him from carrying cameras in public after his release, while Hersborg suffered a collapse due to stress during sentencing and has experienced significant personal setbacks.
  • Hersborg's conviction highlights ongoing concerns about women's right to privacy, especially from offenders who exploit intimate moments, and he faces indefinite sex offender registration and a ban from future osteopathy practice.
