Man used cellphone to spy on landlady
A 32 year old engineer who used a camera phone to snoop on his
landlady having an intimate moment with her boy friend was
yesterday jailed for two weeks and fined $2,000.
Chin .. admitted he had intruded on the 36-year-old womans privacy
at her Hougang flat on the night of Feb 23.
He had taken footage of the couple by climbing onto a chair and
then slotting his camera phone between the window grooves above the
door of her room.
Both the landlady and her 20-year-old boyfriend spotted him doing
it but pretended to be unaware.
After a while, she dashed to the door, opened it and demanded he
hand over his phone.
Her boy friend found several photographs of them in the phone, some
of which were in the nude.
The woman called the police, who later seized the mobile
phone.
For intruding on the privacy of a woman, Chin could have been
jailed for up to one year or fined, or both.
