A FORMER system engineer was jailed for two weeks on Monday for
taking a video footage of a girl's undergarment on an
escalator.
Loh Kok Sum 37, admitted intruding into the privacy of the
15-year-old girl at the escalator of Outram Park MRT Station on Feb
6 last year.
The bachelor, the youngest of three children, has a first class
honours in banking and finance from the University of London.
The court heard that the the teen, a Secondary 3 student, was
riding up the escalator from the Outram MRT Station to Police
Cantonment Complex when Loh stood close behind her and recorded a
video while aiming his mobile phone at her buttocks. She was
wearing a pair of white shorts which was loose-fitting at the upper
thigh area.
The victim's 16-year-old male friend caught him in the act and
detained him. Lawyer G. Dinagaran said his client was remorseful
for what he had done, and voluntarily sought treatment.
Loh could have been jailed for up to one year and/or fined.
