SINGAPORE – A student from a top university in Britain who allegedly filmed women while they were inside toilets should not be allowed to leave Singapore, the prosecution argued in court on Tuesday (Jan 14).
This came after the prosecution said it was alerted to text messages last Friday between the 22-year-old Singaporean and a “trusted friend”, in which the former discussed his plans to abscond and seek asylum in another country.
According to the prosecution, the conversation occurred before she realised that she was also one of his alleged victims.
In addition, the prosecution also sought for the court to lift its gag order on the student’s identity, arguing that it is in the public interest for his identity to be published by the media.
These were the latest developments in the case involving the student, who was first charged with two counts of insulting a woman’s modesty in October last year, for filming women using the toilet and taking a shower.
He cannot be named due to a gag order to protect the women’s identities. His university’s name cannot be disclosed either, as the information could lead to his being identified.
