The father told The Sun: 'My daughter was sat in the corner the other night and when I asked what she was doing she said it was so 'He' couldn't see her.

'She is now talking about needing to move house. She cannot relax in her own home.

'I want a lot of questions answered. How was this man employed? Were there checks on his background? I am angry and devastated but above all justice must be done.' 

He added that officials at the club told him the man had allegedly used a zoom function on the camera to pry into the room.

The suspect, from Accrington, is understood to have worked at the ground for 20 years. He was arrested and rele ased pending further inquiries by police.
