Married real estate agent, 30, admits peeping through a 13-year-old girl's bedroom window after trying to sell the home next door
- Sydney real estate agent convicted of peeping through girl's bedroom window
- Isaac Nelson Teu, 30, was selling the house next door to the girl's family home
- The married father was sentenced to a two-year good behaviour on Tuesday
A Sydney real estate agent who's admitted peeping through a 13-year-old girl's bedroom window had earlier tried to sell the house next door, a court has heard.
Isaac Nelson Teu was handed a two-year good behaviour bond on Tuesday after he admitted peering into the teenager's bedroom on the northern beaches on the night of November 30, 2018, and also looking into a Collaroy woman's home a fortnight earlier.
The married father, 30, testified in Manly Local Court that he'd visited the girl's neighbour's home 28 times when it was listed for sale months earlier.

He agreed he returned to the street on November 30 and he 'vaguely' remembered walking up the side of the teenager's house.
'When I got there, the light was on in the window next to it,' he said.
Teu admitted the two November offences and quit his job shortly after his arrest in December.
But he denied another charge that he'd also peered through the 13-year-old's window on October 4.
Phone tracking and CCTV linked Teu to the November offences, detectives said, but there wasn't proof of the earlier allegation other than the girl's account that she'd seen 'a person' at the window.
The 30-year-old was found not guilty of that offence on Tuesday by magistrate Georgina Darcy who was satisfied the girl had seen someone at her window.
'While I am suspicious it may have been Mr Teu, it's a very high onus that the prosecution must satisfy,' Ms Darcy said.
'In the absence of anything else ... I am unable to be satisfied (beyond reasonable doubt).'
As part of his bond, Teu is required to obey a nightly curfew from 8pm to 4.30am and complete 400 hours of community service.
'If he steps out of line in the slightest way, there is only one place he is going, he knows that,' his lawyer, Paul Kenny, told the court.
'He's certainly remorseful and understands the anguish he's caused them.'
