  "account": "A British man, 52-year-old Hugh Lutley, was arrested upon landing at Singapore's Changi Airport. He faces charges of voyeurism and obstructing justice after allegedly hiding a camera in a toilet on a Scoot flight from Osaka, Japan to Singapore. Prosecutors claim Lutley activated the camera remotely through a mobile application. A fellow passenger discovered the hidden camera when they used the toilet. Lutley subsequently attempted to retrieve the device but found it removed. He then allegedly deleted the app and photos from his phone, leading to the second charge of obstructing justice. Lutley has indicated he will plead guilty and has been offered bail of S$10,000 with a pre-trial conference scheduled for November 17th. Conviction could result in up to two years' imprisonment for voyeurism and up to seven years for obstructing justice.",
