A 34-year-old Hong Kong man, Fung Kwok-wang, has been charged with voyeurism after he was accused of installing hidden pinhole cameras in a gym changing room. Fung, a worksite foreman, appeared at Shatin Magistrates’ Courts on Tuesday and was granted bail. The cameras were discovered on Sunday after videos of the devices taped to a removable ceiling panel were shared on social media.
The incident occurred at a 24/7 Fitness gym in Sha Tin, where a staff member found the camera. According to court documents, Fung is accused of installing or operating the pinhole camera at the Sha Tin gym between September 24 and 25 to commit voyeurism under Hong Kong's Crimes Ordinance. The gym chain has suspended Fung's membership and increased security measures across all branches.
Police found three pinhole cameras and three memory cards in the gym's changing rooms. Additionally, hard drives and other devices were taken from Fung's residence. The suspect was identified through digital forensic analysis of the footage. Police were unable to disclose the number of videos stored as the case was ongoing. It was reported that Fung likely purchased the cameras from a mainland Chinese e-commerce site like Taobao.
