A 67-year-old man pleaded guilty to one count of insulting the modesty of his 32-year-old maid and one count of voyeurism, with 2 more charges taken into consideration during sentencing.
He had repeatedly filmed his maid showering 9 times, by placing his phone in the gap between the toilet door and floor.
He was sentenced to 4 months jail for his crimes.
Their identities cannot be revealed due to a gag order.
What happened?
The maid told the man that she was going to take a shower in August 2019, and the man then felt the urge to see her n*ked body, waiting for her to go into the toilet before following her to film her.
He put his phone into the gap between the door and floor so that he could see her fully n*ked.
He then enjoyed the video in his living room before deleting it.
He recorded her in such a way on 9 occasions, spanning from August 2019 to January 2020.
On 21 December 2019, as he was recording her, the maid noticed the camera but didn’t find out who was filming her or inform her employers as she was afraid.
So she hid her phone in the kitchen with the camera turned on, trying to capture the person filming her.
On 12 January 2020, she did the same thing and checked her video footage, finding out that it was her male employer filming her.
She then left the house around midnight without informing her employers, going to the Humanitarian Organisation for Migration Economics to seek help.
They helped her make a police report and the man was then arrested later that day.
