THIS is the sickening moment a masked burglar flashes his torch to leer at a naked woman as she sleeps.

The deviant spent over half an hour inside the Costa del Sol home as he repeatedly returned to the bedroom to ogle at the unsuspecting victim.

Disturbing CCTV footage showed the home intruder sneaking into Pilar and Alex’s bedroom in Marbella.

The thief was seen creeping around in a tracksuit with his face covered as he looked to raid the couple as they were fast asleep.

At one point, he flashes his torch over the pair who were in bed before focusing in on Pilar.

The traumatised mom was sleeping naked on her front with the majority of her body uncovered by the duvet due to the Spanish heat.

In a blood-curdling moment the sordid burglar bent over and moved closer to Pilar to shine the torch on her body further.

After watching back the sickening footage – which lasted for 32 minutes – Pilar told local media: “He entered our bedroom eight times to look at my private parts.”

The brave victim released the video shortly after taking it to the police as she said it was the only way to get justice and catch the “sick predator”.

Pilar and Alex said they first knew something was wrong when they woke up to see 300 euros had been taken from their home.

Their valuables and expensive goods were all exactly where they left them including in the couple’s 18-year-old son’s room next door.

This has led Pilar to fear that the man wasn’t simply looking to burgle the home but had much more sinister plans.

Pilar says she is thankful that she had her partner Alex with her as he was in a similar position on the other side of the bed.

She said: “That man didn’t come to my house to steal, he came to do something to me.

“I was alone the night before. What if he’d come then?”

Pilar says the terrifying ordeal has left her traumatised and she now faces recurring nightmares when trying to sleep.

She has even been forced to undergo psychological treatment to process the trauma.

Local police are investigating the case and analysing the footage but are yet to identify the suspect.

They believe he likely entered the house through a terrace door.

Marbella is already on high alert for burglaries with residents warned to bolster up their security systems as cops hunt for a thief in the area.

Chilling footage shows a man in a mask and grey hoodie breaking and entering into a series of villas between San Pedro de Alcantara in Marbella and Benahavis.

Dubbed the San Pedro Prowler, the man is regarded as an expert lock picker.

Among the recent stolen items include 10,000 euros in cash and a 30,000 euro watch.
