Man to be charged over camera hidden in toilet during flight from Japan to S’pore
The device was discovered by a cabin crew member who later used the toilet.
A 52-year-old British man is set to be charged on November 5 for allegedly hiding a camera in the toilet of a flight from Japan to Singapore, according to the Straits Times. The incident occurred on October 7, and the man was detained upon landing at Changi Airport. Police allege that he used an app on his mobile phone to remotely activate the camera's recording function while he was in the toilet.
A cabin crew member discovered the hidden camera and removed it, prompting the man to delete the app and all related photographs on his phone in an attempt to avoid detection. If convicted, he could face up to two years' jail for voyeurism and up to seven years for obstructing the course of justice. The police have urged the public to remain vigilant against voyeurism and to report any incidents immediately.
