Sexual deviant James “Jamie” Douglas Olsson, 45, of Avoca Beach, had “no consideration” for the women he secretly filmed to satisfy his voyeuristic disorder and stroke his own “very selfish ego”, a court has heard.
The father of a prominent surfer faced Gosford District Court on Friday after pleading guilty to two counts of distributing an intimate image without consent and four counts of filming women he had sex with.
Giving evidence Olsson, a grandfather, told the court he was injecting testosterone and trenbolone, along with taking up to 3g of cocaine and drinking almost daily when he secretly filmed himself having sex with four women, including a prostitute at Chatswood.
The court heard Olsson had “hundreds of videos” on his phone of him having sex with some of up to an estimated 75 sexual partners he had slept with but only recorded four women without their consent.
It came as three of his four victims attended court and two read “powerful” impact statements in which one described feeling humiliated, degraded and “completely violated” when she discovered his phone hidden in a coffee cup.
She said “one of the most traumatic things was his reaction” when he tried to convince the young woman that getting “no consent” from her to filming them having sex “was consent”.
The other victim said Olsson’s actions had sent a “ripple effect” through every aspect of her life and left her with debilitating anxiety which saw her move out of the area and forced to take medication daily.
The court heard since his arrest in May last year Olsson had been seeing a mental health professional and had been diagnosed with a “voyeuristic disorder” in which he gained arousal from watching unsuspecting women engaged in sex.
However he told the court he was more motived to “feed my own selfish ego” and was becoming “more and more selfish and desensitised to sexual acts”.
The court heard Olsson sent a stranger screenshots of him having sex with one women when they tried to sell him nude pictures via social media.
Olsson said he didn’t think of the victim’s embarrassment but considered it a “measured response" at the time because the images proved he was capable of having sex with beautiful women so “I don’t need your nudes”.
“I had no consideration for the victims at the time,” he said.
Olsson said he was working in landscaping and the fallout from his offending had strained his relationship with his daughter, World Qualifying Series surfer, Kirra-Belle Olsson.
He told the court the 22-year-old was “very unimpressed” with how he disrespected women, his alcohol and drug consumption and the way he was “unaccountable” to her.
Olsson said he was “extremely sorry” for violating his victims’ trust and his offending was largely “impulsive”
However the Crown prosecutor told the court Olsson went to lengths to hide his phone in a coffee cup, bookshelf or among clothing and there were questions over Olsson’s remorse.
Judge David Wilson adjourned the matter to November 2 to give his remarks on sentence.
