SINGAPORE \u2013 A 52-year-old man is set to be charged on Nov 5 after he allegedly hid a camera in the toilet of a plane during a flight from Japan to Singapore.<\/p>\n
In a statement on Nov 4, police said the man, a British national, will be charged with voyeurism and obstructing the course of justice on board an aircraft.<\/p>\n
Officers from the Airport Police Division were alerted at about 5.35pm on Oct 7, the police added.<\/p>\n
Preliminary investigations revealed that the man allegedly hid the camera in one of the plane\u2019s toilets during the flight.<\/p>\n
After leaving the toilet, he activated the device\u2019s recording function remotely through an app on his mobile phone.<\/p>\n
Later, while using the toilet, a cabin crew member discovered the concealed camera and proceeded to remove it and alert her colleague.<\/p>\n
When the man later tried to retrieve the device, he realised that it had already been removed.<\/p>\n
He then allegedly deleted the app and all related photographs on his phone in an attempt to avoid detection, police said.<\/p>\n
He was detained for investigations after the flight landed at Changi Airport, and his phone and camera were seized.<\/p>\n
If convicted of voyeurism, the man could face up to two years\u2019 jail, a fine, caning, or any combination of those punishments.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
In their Nov 4 statement, the police urged the public to remain vigilant against voyeurism by being aware of their surroundings.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
