S'pore man, 28, takes 183 voyeuristic photos & videos of women over 5 years, gets 7 months' jail
He was eventually caught by a station manager at Woodlands MRT station.
For more than five years, from 2019 to 2024, a 28-year-old man named Aaron Phang Xue Hui secretly captured over 180 photos and videos of women's chests and buttocks. His actions came to light on July 3, 2024, when an SMRT general manager at Woodlands MRT station noticed him holding a phone under a woman's skirt and promptly reported him to the police. Phang pleaded guilty to four counts of voyeurism, with three additional counts factored into his sentencing.
During the police investigation, they confiscated his phone and two hard drives, discovering the entirety of his illicit collection—183 voyeuristic photos and videos of unknown women. These images included upskirt and downblouse shots, with some featuring the victims' faces. The earliest footage dated back to September 2019, and during the final seven months of the accused's crimes, he generated 63 more such recordings, culminating in the video which led to his arrest.
Phang organized the illicit photos and videos into folders, categorized by their dates of capture. He admitted to taking the images and using them for personal satisfaction at home. Prosecutors argued for a sentence ranging between eight months and three weeks, up to 11 months, emphasizing Phang's long-standing pattern of voyeurism. The victims' families attended the sentencing, and upon delivering the verdict, the judge expressed hope that Phang would never return to court.
