High School Voyeur Gets a Dose of Reality
Picture this: a 17‑year‑old boy, armed with a black pen and a tiny camera, deciding his next big move would be to… watch classmates sneak a peek from the loo. That’s exactly what happened at his secondary school on the 19th of August last year.
He slipped the device into a female cubicle door, angled it toward the seat, and started filming. The unsuspecting girl noticed the odd pen just as she was about to leave, uncovered the hidden SD card, and, realizing something was off, passed it to a vice‑principal. Within two days the school’s discipline head even filed a police report.
He landed in court on Wednesday, 17 November and pleaded guilty to voyeurism. The judge also found him guilty of a prior up‑skirt offence. Since he’s under 18, the court can’t reveal more details about his identity or school.
Past Creepy History
- Since 2019, he’s been dabbling in the no‑one‑likes–you‑record‑my‑pants colour scheme, filming strangers at MRT stations.
- At an escalator on 13 August, he captured a woman’s upper legs, then shared the clip and screenshots with a classmate.
- While most recordings come from his phone, his latest filmy venture was a covert pen‑cam.
Lawyer’s Take
His counsel, Audrey Koo, says this was his first run-in with the law. She stresses he’s shown remorse, even wrestling with counselling sessions.
Judge’s Dilemma
District Judge Kessler Soh wants a detailed report on whether the teen is fit for probation before sentencing on 15 December.
Potential Sentences
- Voyeurism: up to 2 years in jail, a fine, or a combo.
- Distributing voyeuristic images: up to 5 years in jail, a fine, or a combo.
Fair warning – no one likes watching someone behind the curtain. This teen’s story is a sobering reminder that privacy matters, even in the chatty world of school corridors.
