Peeping tom case: SPF explain why RP student jailed in 2015, and Nic Lim wasn't

The Police are also aware of comparisons being made between this case and a 2015 case involving a 23-year-old man who was charged and sentenced to 10 weeks’ imprisonment for filming a woman showering at Republic Polytechnic (RP).

The accused in the RP case had committed multiple criminal trespass offences, taken deliberate action to avoid detection by covering up the CCTVs in the vicinity and covering his face with a towel, and did not own up voluntarily but was arrested following Police investigations to track him down.

He was a former student of RP and had committed the offences over a period of four months. As such, the Police, in consultation with the AGC, prosecuted him in court. The facts in that case are quite different.

Polytechnic vs NUS. That's all you need to know.

One eye big and one eye small ...

You mean the same crime has different shades ?

I agree the background facts aren’t similar. No one is asking that NUS boy be incarcerated. Surely he can be charged in court and be given a fine. Not a conditional warning. Too lenient.
