Luo Jiawei, 36, came to Singapore alone to work. In two years, he secretly photographed hundreds of women. His wife wrote to the judge to give him a second chance and stated that “She blames herself for putting to much pressure on him.”
Luo Jiawei who is from Malaysia, has been a chef at a local restaurant for three years.
He was charged with four counts of insulting the modesty of women, and is accused of filming upskirt videos 89 times between September 6, 2017 and August 14, 2019.
In accordance to section 519, one may be sentenced to up to a year of imprisonment, or with fine, or with both.
According to the police, they obtained 96 videos and photos and Luo admitted that there was more, and actually took pictures of hundreds of women. He admitted that he committed the crimes at various MRT stations all over the island.
In order to prevent himself from being discovered, he did the deed during peak periods when the MRT station was crowded. Luo was caught by a passerby on August 14 last year and the police was alerted.
He pleaded guilty in court via video yesterday.
