A Dartmouth man accused of breaking into homes and watching women as they sleep in Halifax's south end has been found guilty of one count of breaking and entering.
Barry Sinclair, 50, was charged with two counts of breaking and entering and five counts of voyeurism. Justice Michael Wood is delivering his ruling on the other accusations in Halifax provincial court.
Sinclair was found guilty of one count of breaking and entering on Tuesday afternoon. In that case, his cellphone was found in a mop bucket in a woman's apartment.
The identity of the suspect was questioned repeatedly through the trial. One of the victims, a 22-year-old woman, did not pick Sinclair when she examined a police lineup. The woman said she woke to find a man in her bedroom, his mouth open as he stared at her.
Sinclair was also charged with voyeurism after Halifax Regional Police said they found a video in his dresser drawer showing women unaware they were being "watched" as they undressed.
Sinclair has been in police custody since his arrest in September 2011.
In recent years, more than a dozen women in Halifax's south end reported they woke up to find a man watching or touching them.
