A British Airways pilot has been arrested after allegedly filming himself with 16 women and sharing the videos online without their consent.
Reports say the pilot formed relationships with women from other airlines during layovers at hotels around the world. Many victims only realised they had been recorded after noticing the videos on websites.
One woman, who says she was targeted between 2023 and 2025, said she had no idea she was being filmed. “I didn’t realise until another woman mentioned it. He would place his laptop nearby with music on, screen off. Now the footage is online, and I’ve learned he did this to 15 other women,” she said.

Another victim reportedly found multiple videos on his laptop, with the recording light allegedly covered to hide the filming.
The pilot has also been reported to British Airways over alleged cocaine use. The airline said he has been stood down while police investigations continue.
A Metropolitan Police spokesperson said: “Officers arrested a 31-year-old man on Thursday, 5 March, on suspicion of voyeurism. He has been released on bail while enquiries continue.”
A UK Civil Aviation Authority spokesperson added that any reports of substance misuse are being reviewed and appropriate action will be taken.
