SINGAPORE: A man accompanying his son at a public swimming pool complex after a lesson spotted a teenager pointing a mobile phone at his son in the toilet.
He confronted the teen, and police officers called to the scene found two phones on him with more than 50 obscene films of naked boys.
The accused, who cannot be named under the Children and Young Persons Act as he is 16, pleaded guilty on Tuesday (Mar 16) to 10 counts of making an obscene film. Another 48 counts will be taken into consideration for sentencing.
The court heard that the accused, who was 15 at the time, had gone to Sengkang Sports Complex on Sep 22, 2019 and filmed naked boys in the men's toilet. He returned again on Oct 19, 2019, and took more videos of naked boys.
One of the boys had just finished his swimming lesson and had gone to the men's changing area with his father. His father saw the accused pointing a phone at his son and confronted him before getting help from staff members.
The accused was afraid and hid in one of the toilet cubicles. When the police arrived, they found two phones on the accused with 58 obscene films in them of naked boys in various positions - changing, coming out of cubicles or getting dressed.
