S’pore man, 32, secretly films female colleagues in company’s unisex changing room, gets 10 weeks’ jail

In October 2024, a 32-year-old Singaporean man was charged with six counts of voyeurism after being caught on camera secretly filming four female colleagues in their company's unisex changing room. The man pleaded guilty to four of the charges, and was subsequently sentenced to 10 weeks in jail. The remaining two charges were factored into his sentence.

The four women, aged between 22 and 44, were all colleagues of the man. Due to privacy concerns, the identities of the victims were concealed by a gag order, reported by Lianhe Zaobao. The man discreetly recorded the women's changing routines by placing his phone in his bag's side pocket, entering the cubicle, and filming through the gaps between the cubicles.

These videos were stored in a hidden folder on his phone, requiring facial recognition or a password to access. The man would watch the footage at home. In December 2024, he transferred the videos to a new phone and subsequently to his laptop. His girlfriend discovered the videos on his phone and he was forced to delete them. In January 2025, she found the videos again in the recently deleted folder on his phone and he deleted them once more.

His company's HR department reported him to the police on February 10, 2025. Police were able to identify four victims through the footage, with one being filmed for over three and a half minutes while in her underwear, with her face clearly visible. When arrested, police found a total of 24 videos on the man's laptop, including six distinct videos and 18 duplicates.
