  "account": "In Singapore, a 19-year-old woman was left shaken after a 20-year-old man filmed her through the bathroom window while she was showering. The incident occurred on April 8, 2026, when the perpetrator climbed onto a ledge in a Housing and Development Board (HDB) estate and attempted to peer into the woman's flat. When the curtains were drawn, he was unable to see her figure and returned to the fitness corner. Approximately 30 minutes later, he heard the sound of someone showering and secretly recorded the woman using a phone through the bathroom window. The woman screamed and the suspect fled the scene.\n\nThe police later apprehended the 20-year-old and discovered additional illicit recordings on his phone, including one taken on March 22, 2026, of the woman's mother in the bathroom. The man was found guilty on October 27, 2026, of two counts of voyeurism. One additional charge for voyeurism will be taken into account during sentencing, and his sentencing has been postponed until December 17, 2026.\n\nThe incident has reportedly left the victims, the 19-year-old woman and her 55-year-old mother, feeling distressed and unsafe in their own home. As a precautionary measure, the family ensures that their bathroom window is closed before taking a shower, to prevent any further incidents.",
