One Peeping Tom is jailed for a week, and the other will be sentenced soon…
…
You must have been warned by friends to be careful in the changing rooms of clothing stores, to watch out for spy cameras, right?
Well, the guy who secretly installed spy cameras in September 2014 at a Cotton On outlet at the White Sands mall in Pasir Ris, Singapore, will go to jail.
That doesn’t mean that you can be less vigilant!

Peeping Tom gets jail for planting cameras in changing rooms
IT consultant also used police database to see if his crime was being investigated.
By ELIZABETH LAW
He knew that the hidden camera he planted in a fitting room had been spotted, so he wanted to find out if the police were on to him.
Instead of simply admitting to his wrongdoing, Zheng Zhongshi, 34, took advantage of his job at the Police Cantonment Complex, which gave him access to the Singapore Police Force’s database.
The IT consultant then searched for details of whether a police report had been lodged.
But when he realised an investigation officer had already been assigned the case, Zheng turned himself in.
He was yesterday sentenced to 20 weeks’ jail for insulting the modesty of women and for unauthorised access to a computer.
…
Court documents show that on Sept 11 last year, Zheng bought two black hidden cameras that were disguised as clothing hooks at $98 each.
Two days later, at about noon, Zheng took the cameras to a Cotton On outlet at the White Sands mall in Pasir Ris, where he mounted them in separate fitting rooms to film women changing. He removed the cameras at about 10pm the same day.
…
On Sept 15, he went to a Cotton On outlet at Plaza Singapura at about 1pm, where he again mounted the hidden cameras in different fitting rooms.
But these were later discovered by shop staff who removed them and made a police report at about 4.50pm the same day.
At about 6.30pm, Zheng returned to Cotton On, hoping to retrieve his cameras. But they were gone.
On Sept 16, at about 2am, he reported for work at the Police Cantonment Complex where his employer NCS had a maintenance project dealing with the police CRIMES2 database.
Zheng’s job was to support or guide police officers using the system.
While at work, he did multiple searches with various permutations to find if a police report had been made about the cameras in the Cotton On fitting room.
He eventually found out about the police report and that the case had been assigned to investigation officer Siti Rahimah Asmad.
At about 8.30am, Zheng contacted the officer and turned himself in.
Investigations revealed at least nine women who had been filmed.

Peeping Tom jailed a week for loitering around female toilets
SINGAPORE – A peeping Tom who was found loitering in female toilets was jailed for a week on Wednesday.
Sales executive Francis Peh Jing Rong, 27, was found by a staff member standing at the wash basins of the second level bathrooms at Holiday Inn Atrium on September 15 last year. He had been banned from entering the hotel the previous year.
On the evening of Jan 20 this year, he trespassed into the female toilet on the 17th level of Singapore Land Tower at Raffles Place.
A female tenant had complained that there was a man in the Level 17 toilet. Two security officers waited outside the toilet and minutes later, Peh came out and was detained.
Peh pleaded guilty to two counts of criminal trespass. He was allowed to defer sentence until Dec 28 to sort out his work and spend Christmas with his family.
