Poly student took upskirt photos of women in Chinatown
A polytechnic student was convicted on Thursday (June 4) of taking upskirt photos and videos of dozens of women around the Chinatown area.
Koh Junxiang Clemence, 18, pleaded guilty to six charges.
Another 56 charges will be taken into consideration during sentencing.
On Jan 30, Koh saw a 27-year-old woman enter the female toilet in Pearls Centre.
He followed her to take indecent pictures of her.
Koh went into the cubicle next to hers, turned on the camera function of his Samsung Galaxy Note 4 mobile phone, and put it under the partition between the cubicles.
The woman spotted the phone and Koh's hand, ran out of the toilet and called the police.
It was only after Koh's arrest for this incident that the extent of his offences came to light - 173 upskirt photos and six upskirt videos were recovered from his mobile phone and laptop.
He had been prowling for victims since at least Dec 17, 2014, at places like Daiso at Chinatown Point, and a Popular bookstore.
