Man hid behind plants to film pair having sex then threatened woman with video, gets jail and caning
The judge told the offender that his actions had been most hurtful to his wife, who broke down in court while holding the couple's one-month-old baby.
In Singapore, Mohammad Sharulnaim Miswan, a 33-year-old man, was sentenced to two years and ten months in jail, along with three canings, for his actions of filming couples having extramarital sex and threatening them. On January 15, 2024, Sharulnaim hid behind plants at a rooftop garden and filmed a couple, capturing their faces and moving around for a better view.
He held the woman hostage and threatened to post the video online unless she complied with his demands. The judge acknowledged the hurt caused to the woman, who was holding their one-month-old baby during the court proceedings. In May 2024, the woman reported Sharulnaim to the police. Despite this, Sharulnaim continued his harassment, approaching the woman's sister in a supermarket and threatening to expose their relationship if she pursued the case.
He also targeted another couple in their car, taking a photo and intimidating them before driving away.
