Man to be charged over hidden plane toilet camera

Later, while using the toilet, a cabin crew member discovered the concealed camera and proceeded to remove it and alert her colleague.

When the man later tried to retrieve the device, he realised that it had already been removed.

He then allegedly deleted the app and all related photographs on his phone in an attempt to avoid detection, police said.

He was detained for investigations after the flight landed at Changi Airport, and his phone and camera were seized.

If convicted of voyeurism, the man could face up to two years’ jail, a fine, caning, or any combination of those punishments.

For obstructing the course of justice on board an aircraft, he could face a jail term of up to seven years, a fine, or both.

In their Nov 4 statement, the police urged the public to remain vigilant against voyeurism by being aware of their surroundings.

Members of the public should make a police report immediately if they witness an incident of voyeurism or are aware of someone being a victim of voyeurism, they said, adding that this is crucial in assisting the police in identifying and arresting the perpetrators.
