Man Sentenced to 21 Weeks in Jail for Filming Wife’s Niece and Editing Her Face into Porn Videos

A Singaporean man, whose identity is protected under a gag order, has been sentenced to 21 weeks in jail for committing voyeurism and tampering with intimate porn videos involving his wife’s niece.

The victim, who was 23 years old at the time, was subjected to the man’s invasive actions. According to CNA, the court revealed that the man, married in 2017 with a daughter, began residing with his wife and her niece, who had been living with them since 2006.

The man’s actions unfolded surreptitiously, with him setting up hidden cameras in the niece’s bathroom to capture her undertaking private activities. He recorded the young woman engaged in mundane tasks, including applying moisturizer and changing clothes, violating her privacy and trust.

The victim discovers some hidden cameras, which sparks her immediate action, leading to the suspect getting arrested by the police who tries to seek 24 to 29 weeks’ jail time.

Investigations uncovered a disturbing manipulation of videos, where the man used his design expertise to superimpose the victim’s face onto explicit content by using a phone app to lay over her face in those porn videos.

Despite recognition that the victim did not endure emotional repercussions from the altered videos, the prosecution emphasized the gross invasion of privacy and potential risks associated with the footage.

During the trial, the defence highlighted the man’s remorse and several stressors that contributed to his actions, including marital discord and mental health challenges. The defence lawyers requested a reduced sentence of 15 weeks considering these mitigating factors.

The man was also reported to have experienced adjustment disorder with a depressed mood, leading to his inappropriate coping mechanisms.
