SINGAPORE - A man was staying with his extended family in a Tampines flat when he used a mobile phone to record a video of an 18-year-old girl while she was taking a shower. The victim's paternal aunt is married to the offender's brother, the court heard. The 32-year-old offender, who cannot be named due to a gag order to protect the victim's identity, pleaded guilty on Wednesday (Aug 11) to one count of insulting a woman's modesty. He was at home some time in 2017 when he placed his mobile phone on the ledge of a bathroom window. The girl later came home from school and spotted the device after she took a shower. She took the phone and saw that it contained a video of her showering. She immediately deleted the clip, threw the device on the floor and left the bathroom. The teenager, however, did not tell her family members about what had happened as she did not think they would believe her. Meanwhile, the man returned to the bathroom to retrieve his phone and noticed that its recording mode was off. After the incident, the victim felt fearful about going to shower at home or sleep there as she was worried that the man would insult her modesty again. Court documents did not disclose...

The rail operator said the incident happened at about 10.15pm, and the man was unhurt. The Straits Times understands he is aged 57. SMRT Trains president Lam Sheau Kai said the train driver on the north-bound train approaching the station applied the emergency brake when he saw a person trespassing on the track.
