Two friends jailed for filming upskirt videos
Two childhood friends were jailed 12 weeks each on Friday (July 3) for filming dozens of upskirt videos.
Two years ago, Patrick Sim, 20, and Lee Yi Jie, 21, got the idea to film these videos and upload them onto the Sammyboy website.
They did this so that other members could view and “like” their clips and they could gain “reputation points”.
Their modus operandi was to capture shots of their victim’s face, inner thighs and underwear.
They targeted teenage girls in crowded shops. They pretended to reach for items on the lower shelves while recording the videos.
They were arrested after two 17-year-old girls spotted what they were doing on Sep 20, 2013.
Lee pleaded guilty to nine upskirt charges with 36 others taken into consideration.
Sim admitted to three charges, with five taken into consideration.
