SINGAPORE: A 27-year-old sales engineer was the first among five accused to be convicted on Thursday (Sept 21) of possessing obscene films of women in changing rooms and bathrooms, which were shared with members of an online forum. Joel Chew Weichen, who pleaded guilty to one charge under the Films Act, will be sentenced later. The police had found 280 obscene films in his possession, which showed women using the toilet or removing their clothes in changing rooms. This is also the first prosecution involving members of a "large online community", where such voyeuristic films targeting girls and women using facilities such as changing rooms, bathrooms and toilets were being shared and distributed. The films captured unsuspecting women and girls, including those in school uniform, in various states of undress, using the toilet or taking showers.
