‘I lost my mind’: Singapore jails Malaysian restaurant supervisor who took upskirt videos of women
Sunday, 22 Dec 2019 07:18 AM MYTSINGAPORE, Dec 22 — Single and lonely without any relatives here, a 31-year-old restaurant supervisor’s addiction to voyeuristic videos online led him to “lose his mind”, in his own words, and turn to taking upskirt videos of women here.
“I lost my mind and did the wrong thing. I remember the time when my investigation officer asked me how it feel if my sister... I thought about it and felt very sorry. I will not reoffend again,” Woo said.Woo was caught by a man who saw him sneak up behind a 24-year-old woman to film up her skirt on March 6 this year.
Woo, however, did not realise that a 35-year-old commuter had been standing next to him on the train and watching him all this time, witnessing him view upskirt videos on his phone and staring at the victim. When Teow confronted Woo, he tried to escape but could not do so because other members of the public had rallied around to help. Teow then alerted a staff member at the train station’s passenger service centre and Woo was detained until the police arrived.
In his phone, the police also found two pornographic videos, which Woo said were downloaded from the internet and transferred from his laptop to his mobile phone. On Friday, he was fined S$1,000 over the obscene films — S$500 for each film found. However, Deputy Public Prosecutor Lim Woon Yee said that stress should not be given any mitigating weight because he could well find other avenues to relieve his stress.
