A 21-year-old male student was sentenced to 30 months of probation yesterday (9 June) after pleading guilty to one count of molestation and one count of voyeurism.
He molested a male schoolmate during a sleepover as well as filmed a man showing in the campus gym’s toilet.
He cannot be named due to a gag order protecting the identity of the victims.
What happened?
The first victim was the guy’s male schoolmate whom they met in 2017 during their time in the school band.
They got closer after joining the band’s executive committee in 2018.
Both of them had a sleepover in 27 August 2019, and they both slept on the same bed.
The next morning, the guy pulled open the victim’s pants and underwear to take a photo, and he also inserted his hand into the victim’s underwear and molested him.
The victim later reported the incident to the police.
On 13 January 2020, the guy was in the campus gym toilet when he heard someone showering.
He then proceeded to film the guy showering by placing his phone under the cubicle.
But he was caught red-handed by the victim who shouted at him, and he retracted his phone before leaving and entering another cuble about 4 to 5 door away, and deleting the video clip before fleeing the gym.
The 2nd victim made a police report.
Investigations then revealed that the student had made similar recording before, but the recordings were deleted.
