> A peeping Tom in Singapore was sentenced to three years’ jail for recording explicit videos of about 250 women in toilets, Nanyang Siang Pau reported.

The 27-year-old man who suffers from voyeuristi­c disorder, had installed 13 wall-hook-shaped ca- meras at universiti­es, a fast-food outlet and shopping malls throughout Singapore.

The first offence was committed at Nanyang Polytechni­c and subsequent filming took place between 2013 and 2016.

It was also reported that he filmed five of his female friends in their home toilet.

According to Singapore’s Shin Min Daily, police had identified five men involved in posting explicit videos of women online following reports by the republic’s Education Ministry that images of schoolgirl­s in toilets and changing rooms were shared on the Internet.

Two of the five men involved in sharing the videos online were convicted and the peeping Tom is the third to be convicted.
