Police Service of Northern Ireland does not issue mugshots of serious offenders after sentencing.

Catherine McSherry's step-brother Christopher was found guilty of voyeurism and unauthorised computer access.

Catherine said victims felt "ignored and not taken seriously" when no mugshot was issued.

PSNI said the "logistics of how we do that are now being worked through".
