A 25-YEAR-OLD man who took upskirt videos of five women was
given a chance on Monday and placed on 24 months' probation.
But Gary Huang Kunjie, who is suffering from paraphilia, will
not be allowed from using a cellphone with camera features.
His parents will supervise him in his use of Internet to better
manage his access to pornography and access to cameras and video
cameras. They also signed a $5,000 bond to ensure his good
behaviour.
Huang will follow up with psychiatric and psychological
treatment as required. Community Court judge Soh Tze Bian will
review his case in six months.
Huang, a polytechnic graduate, had earlier admitted to using his
mobile phone to take a digital upskirt photograph of a 29-year-old
woman's underwear in a lift at a block of flats in Yishun on Jan 14
last year.
He was caught in the act when the woman happened to turn around.
Her husband called the police. The phone was found to have 94
upskirt video clips of unknown women in lifts at unknown
locations.
The offence is punishable with a jail term of up to one year or
fine or with both.
