Man gets jail for taking 179 upskirt videos over three years, molesting woman at MRT station
The prosecution said the 25-year-old man had shown himself to be a "serial, habitual offender", with various offences committed from as early as 2016.
A Singaporean man has been jailed for taking 179 upskirt videos over a three-year period and molesting a woman at an MRT station, prosecutors revealed. The 25-year-old, Lim Yi Fei, was sentenced to nine months and 31 weeks in jail for offenses committed between 2016 and 2025. He pleaded guilty to five charges, including one count of intruding upon a woman's privacy with the intent to insult her modesty and one count of using criminal force to a person with the intent to outrage her modesty.
Lim was also found to have stolen items from a locker at the Singapore Sports Hub in 2018. The court heard that Lim approached women randomly and recorded videos of their buttocks while they were on escalators or walking in public areas. In September 2019, Lim molested a woman at the Serangoon MRT station, and in 2024, he recorded an upskirt video of another woman at the Buangkok MRT station.
In another incident in 2025, Lim recorded a continuous upskirt video of a woman at the Dhoby Ghaut MRT station while on the escalator. The victim confronted Lim, and a passer-by helped detain him. Lim was arrested and released on bail after being charged in 2024.
