Tutor used pen cameras to film multiple victims, including 9-year-old pupil

A man who taught part-time at an education centre and as a home tutor began his voyeuristic behaviour in 2011, when he used his mobile phone to record his sister using the toilet.

- Andrew Wong

The 30-year-old man eventually bought spy pen cameras to record her and other victims, including his ex-girlfriend, and students at his workplace.

He even recorded a 10-minute video of a nine-year-old pupil in the toilet of the education centre.

He cannot be named due to a gag order to protect his victims.

On Sept 6, the man pleaded guilty to three counts of voyeurism and two charges of possession of voyeuristic material. Six similar charges will be taken into consideration when the man is sentenced.

Deputy Public Prosecutor Chong Yong indicated he would not object to a mandatory treatment order (MTO) report for the man.

The prosecutor said he will be reserving his position on sentencing until the MTO report was made, but indicated this was in no way an expression that the prosecution believed an MTO was appropriate in this case.
