The man was convicted of attempting to commit voyeurism against his sister on two occasions, court documents showed. He had received prior warnings for offences committed in 2018 and 2023, indicating a pattern of similar behaviour.
The District Court imposed an 18-month probation order as the sentence. The probation period will require the offender to adhere to conditions set by the court as part of his rehabilitation and supervision.
Under Singapore law, voyeurism and attempted voyeurism carry serious penalties. The conviction reflects growing concerns about privacy violations and non-consensual recording, particularly within domestic settings.
The case underscores the judiciary's approach to repeat offenders, balancing punitive measures with rehabilitation requirements. Courts in Singapore have increasingly scrutinised such offences given their impact on victims and breaches of privacy within family homes.
