SINGAPORE – A doctor who concealed a camera in his shoe and used it to record more than 3,000 upskirt videos was sentenced on Friday (Dec 11) to three years’ jail.
Chu Ben Wee, 28, is one of the most prolific serial voyeurs to come before the courts, said Deputy Public Prosecutor Sruthi Boppana.
The prosecutor added that Chu “fully exploited the available technologies to conceal his offending behaviour”, and recorded videos in various locations including hospitals and junior colleges.
They cannot be named due to a gag order to protect the victims’ identities.
The Singaporean was initially arrested on Jan 18, 2018, but reoffended while he was under police investigations in April last year.
Given bail that same month, he went back to his old ways in July last year.
On Friday, Chu, who appeared in court via video-link, pleaded guilty to four counts of insulting the women’s modesty.
Thirteen other charges, mainly for similar offences, were considered during sentencing.
