Local or Foreign? NUS student filmed girl showering in toilet
HE TRESPASSED into a female toilet on two occasions and each time used his cellphone to video-record an undergraduate bathing.
Yesterday, Zheng Wenhan, 21, an architecture student from the National University of Singapore (NUS), was jailed for two weeks for intruding into the privacy of a woman last October.
He was also fined $1,000 for wilful trespass at a hostel for foreign students at NUS.
The fair-complexioned and medium-build Zheng admitted to the offences committed at the female toilet at Prince George’s Park Residence 3 on Oct 30 last year.
The court heard that he entered the female toilet at about 1.45pm that day to relieve himself and shower.
After entering the toilet, he proceeded to a shower cubicle and realised that somebody was bathing in an adjacent cubicle.
He took out his mobile phone to record, from the top of the cubicle, a 19-year-old undergraduate showering.
The court was not told when he was caught. The victim called the police to reportthe incident at about 4.05pm.
Zheng, who was not represented, submitted a handwritten mitigation plea to District Judge Christopher Goh, who had earlier told him to expect a jail sentence for intruding into the privacy of a woman.
Zheng, who had two other similar charges considered, also wrote to the victims to apologise and hoped they would forgive him.
He said he had been seeing a counsellor so that he would not make the same mistake again.
“In the last 10 months, I have behaved well in school and focused on my studies. I hope, Your Honour, you can give me a light sentence so that I can carry on studying in Singapore,” he stated.
He could have been jailed for up to one year, fined or jailed and fined for intruding on the privacy of a woman.
The maximum penalty for wilful trespass is a $1,000 fine.
