SINGAPORE - A full-time national serviceman who committed 19 "upskirt" offences, mostly at MRT stations, was jailed for nine weeks on Wednesday.
Muhammad Raimi Kadir, 21, admitted seven of 19 charges of intruding women's privacy by secretly filming them between November 2012 and September last year.
Deputy Public Prosecutor James Chew told the court that once Raimi spotted a woman with a short skirt, he would follow her from behind until they reached the escalator.
He would stand behind the victim, switch on his camera then place it under her skirt to capture a recording or photograph of her thighs and underwear.
