A married 35 year old man was sentenced to two years and three months jail for filming close to 1400 videos of women which included his family members undressing.
The prosecution had called for a three year jail term, describing the case as the “most prolific” of its kind.
“None of the (previous cases) to date come close in scale to match the accused’s depraved behaviour, either by duration of offending, or by the sheer number of 1,391 videos recorded,” said Deputy Public Prosecutor Kenneth Kee.
Within a time span of 13 years, the man took upskirt photos and videos of women relieving themselves in the toilet and showering or changing. He was caught with five spy watches, two spy pens and a spy clock in his possession.
He filmed women changing at retail shops, and also filmed his friends and family in the shower at his own home. He even planted a spy device in a toilet in his church which captured images of children.
He was caught red-handed by a colleague when she was trying on a dress in a toilet which she received for her birthday.
The man pleaded guilty to four charges of insulting women’s modesty and with another nine charges taken into consideration.
The penalties for insulting a woman’s modesty are a jail term of up to a year, a fine, or both.
