Yesterday, Zheng Wenhan, 21, an architecture student from the National University of Singapore (NUS), was jailed for two weeks for intruding into the privacy of a woman last October. He was also fined $1,000 for wilful trespass at a hostel for foreign students at NUS. The fair-complexioned and medium-build Zheng admitted to the offences committed at the female toilet at Prince George's Park Residence 3 on Oct 30 last year. The court heard that he entered the female toilet at about 1.45pm that day to relieve himself and shower. After entering the toilet, he proceeded to a shower cubicle and realised that somebody was bathing in an adjacent cubicle. He took out his mobile phone to record, from the top of the cubicle, a 19-year-old undergraduate showering. The court was not told when he was caught. The victim called the police to report the incident at about 4.05pm. Zheng, who was not represented, submitted a handwritten mitigation plea to District Judge Christopher Goh, who had earlier told him to expect a jail sentence for intruding into the privacy of a woman. Zheng, who had two other similar charges considered, also wrote to the victims to apologise and hoped they would forgive him. He said he had been seeing a counsellor so that he would not make the same mistake again. 'In the last 10 months, I have behaved well in school and focused on my studies. I hope, Your Honour, you can give me a light sentence so that I can carry on studying in Singapore,' he stated.He could have been jailed for up to one year, fined or jailed and fined for intruding on the privacy of a woman. The maximum penalty for wilful trespass is a $1,000 fine. ELENA CHONG
