SINGAPORE: A 23-year-old man was fined S$2,200 in court on Thursday for entering a female toilet and peeping at a woman who was urinating.

Xu Weilong pleaded guilty to one charge of criminal trespass and another charge of intending to insult the modesty of the 46-year-old woman.

He committed the offences on the third floor of Marina Square shopping centre on August 3.

Xu placed a blue-framed mirror on the toilet floor in between the cubicles to peep at her.

The slim and bespectacled man said in his mitigation plea that he was remorseful and would not re-offend.

He could have been jailed three years and fined $1,500 for criminal trespass.

For intending to outrage the modesty of the woman, he could have been jailed a year and fined.
