Orchard Road prowler shot ’85 upskirt videos in one day’
A production engineer prowled Orchard Road and took "85 upskirt videos in one day" last September.
47-year-old Tham Nam Sang pled guilty to five charges while the remaining 80 will be taken into consideration while sentencing.
The videos, all taken without the women's knowledge, were all recorded on 6 September 2008 in Ngee Ann City and other shopping malls in Singapore along Orchard Road.
The culprit used two digital cameras to capture "upskirt" videos of women in skirts.
The court understood that after having dinner in Orchard Road, Tham placed one camera in a paper bag and turned it on to record a video, with his lens facing upwards.
He proceeded to walk behind his victims while holding the paper bag under their skirts.
After that, he would use his second camera to take a pictures of the victims' faces to match the videos.
He captured a total of 120 minutes of video clips.
According to lawyer Jacob Lim, his client was suffering from major depressive disorder when he committed the offences.
District Judge Soh Tze Bian has postponed the sentencing until April 28, and has called for a probation report.
Tham faces a maximum penalty of one year in jail and a fine for each offence.
