SINGAPORE: When a man realised that he could look into his 23-year-old neighbour’s bedroom through the window in his bathroom, he began watching her undress and even shone a laser pointer into her room to get her attention.
Rosrankani Abdul Latif, a 68-year-old Singaporean man, also molested a minor on a bus and stole a caged bird, only to lose it when he tried to wash it.
He was sentenced to jail for eight months and one week on Friday (Mar 13), after pleading guilty to four charges which included molestation, voyeurism and theft.
Another four charges were taken into consideration.
The court heard that Rosrankani noticed in January 2025 that he had a direct view into a 23-year-old woman’s bedroom from his bathroom window. The victim lived in the same Housing Board block.
Rosrankani then observed the young woman undressing or lying on her bed over more than seven months until August 2025.
He looked into her bedroom as he was single and had “the urge to look at girls”, and believed that the victim liked him.
In May 2025, the victim was trying on new clothes in her bedroom. Rosrankani stood in his toilet and observed her naked and trying on clothes.
On Jun 24, 2025, the victim called the police saying Rosrankani was pointing a laser into her room at her thigh, while he was in his toilet.
The victim felt harassed and began drawing her blinds and installing frosted window film. She also installed a closed-circuit television camera in her bedroom.
At about 12am on Jul 18, 2025, the victim noticed that Rosrankani was pointing a laser into her bedroom from his toilet. This occurred for about 10 to 15 minutes.
The victim’s blinds were partially drawn at the time.
At about 12.15am, Rosrankani repeatedly shouted: “Come to my house. I love you. … I want to see you naked.” He also shouted other sexually suggestive things at the victim.
