SINGAPORE – A doctor who asked for a mandatory treatment order (MTO) instead of a prison term will have to spend eight weeks behind bars over a voyeurism charge.
Jonathan Soh Jingyao was sentenced to the jail term on Dec 15.
The 34-year-old, who previously worked at Sengkang General Hospital, had used his phone to secretly film a woman showering in an apartment.
Soh’s relationship with the victim was redacted in court documents. She cannot be identified due to a gag order to protect her identity.
Defence counsel Jeeva Joethy from Regal Law said Soh suffered from mild voyeuristic disorder.
Citing medical reports from the Institute of Mental Health, Mr Jeeva told the court that the doctor’s condition qualifies him for an MTO.
