A TECHNICIAN who filmed upskirt videos of a woman in a lift was
on Tuesday, jailed for three weeks.
Ho Soo Kok, 30, pleaded guilty to insulting the modesty of the
30-year-old woman at the National University of Singapore (NUS) in
Lower Kent Ridge Road on March 16, 2010.
The court heard that Ho got into the lift and stood behind the
victim. As it was travelling to the second level, he took out his
mobile phone, activated the video recording mode and put it towards
her calf area with the intention to film her with an upskirt
angle.
When the lift door opened on the third level, she felt a warm
touch on her right leg. She turned around and saw Ho's mobile phone
in between her legs.
She grabbed the phone and ran to the first level to seek help
from a colleague. The victim went to the National University
Hospital police post to get help.
Ho, who had his head bowed all the time, could have been jailed
for up to one year and/or fined.
