A renowned osteopath, known for treating celebrities, has been remanded to a higher court for sentencing after pleading guilty to multiple voyeurism charges. Torben Hersborg, 63, admitted to observing private acts of university students with the intent of sexual gratification. The incidents occurred on three separate occasions in December last year. During his appearance via videolink at Highbury Corner Magistrates’ Court, Hersborg faced charges stemming from his suspicious activities near student residences, which were reported by vigilant members of the public.

The case against Hersborg began when an alert citizen noticed unusual behavior around university halls of residence. On the evening of December 21st, this individual observed a man in a car taking photographs and videos of students. The witness also mentioned having seen the same vehicle and person on several occasions over the past few years. According to the prosecution, the suspect was spotted lying in the back of a car equipped with a camera and telescope, all while wearing a balaclava.

Upon arrival, law enforcement officers found Hersborg inside the vehicle, dressed in black gloves and surrounded by plastic-lined seats. He claimed he had been drinking with friends and felt unwell, necessitating a stop. However, further investigation revealed incriminating evidence, including images of females in various states of undress. Authorities later conducted a search at Hersborg's residence, seizing numerous digital devices that are currently under examination.

Hersborg, who has treated high-profile clients such as tennis star Caroline Wozniacki and actress Anna Friel, offered little comment during his police interview beyond expressing regret for the situation. Despite the ongoing investigation into additional potential offenses, the magistrate declined jurisdiction, committing the case to Snaresbrook Crown Court for sentencing. The judge expressed concern over the prolonged nature of these alleged activities, emphasizing the need for thorough examination of all evidence before determining the appropriate sentence.

Judge McDonagh highlighted the troubling aspect of the case, noting that it involved a university residence and suggesting that the misconduct may have persisted over time. Although only three specific instances are currently before the court, the judge emphasized the seriousness of the offenses and the importance of ensuring a fair and comprehensive legal process. Hersborg will face sentencing at a later date at the crown court.
