A 48-year-old former lecturer at the Institute of Technical Education was sentenced to four months jail for taking multiple upskirt photos and videos on campus.
According to CNA, on September 6 the man pleaded guilty to two counts of insulting a woman’s modesty and a third charge of attempting to insult a woman’s modesty. Three other charges were taken into consideration for sentencing.
The man targeted students and a female in the cafeteria of an Institution of Technical Education. The court heard that the offender was working at an Institute of Technical Education at the time of the offences.
A gag order was imposed barring the publication of any information that might identify the victims.
CAUGHT DURING “LIFE SKILL” CLASS :
He noticed a student wearing a tight skirt that exposed her legs on October 25, 2019, when he was teaching a Life Skills class. He chose her as his target and turned on the camera on his phone as he approached her.
The man set his phone at the edge of the table, pretending to help her with her work, and then took several shots with the volume button, CNA reported.
After the class was over, he checked to make sure no one was around and glanced through the pictures before realising he had forgotten to take any pictures or recordings of the student.
In the meantime, the student had seen the lecturer turn his phone’s camera towards her skirt and she immediately texted her father, sister and classmates, and her sister reported the matter to the police, according to CNA.
133 Upskirt Images & 17 Videos
The 48-year-old’s phone was seized and at least 133 upskirt images and 17 videos were extracted from it.
Then, pretending to be teaching her, he would approach his target while turning on the camera function on his phone. Then, after the lesson was complete, he would take a picture of or record up the student’s skirt.
“Sitting improperly in his class”
Police investigations revealed the offender’s modus operandi: He would look out for female students with short skirts around the school. He would also look out for female students who were “sitting improperly in his lecture class”, according to the court documents.
According to the accused’s own estimations, he shot these upskirt videos and pictures once every two weeks over the course of four to five months.
He took an upskirt photo and video of an unidentified female victim in the school cafeteria on Jun 5, 2019, and an upskirt video of another victim at the school’s general office on Jul 29, 2019.
The prosecutor asked for between four and six months’ jail, saying that the offender had abused his position of trust and authority as a lecturer. He had a number of upskirt photos and videos, and committed the offences in a covert manner, she said.
For each charge of insulting a woman’s modesty, he could have been jailed for up to a year and fined.
