Camera phone ban for peeping Singapore toilet teen

SINGAPORE (Reuters) - A Singapore man has been banned from owning a camera phone for a year after he was found guilty of secretly filming a woman in an airport toilet, a newspaper reported on Tuesday.

Samuel Ong, 19, sneaked into a female toilet at Singapore's Changi Airport earlier this year and used his camera phone to snap shots of a woman from under the cubicle door. The woman caught him and reported him to the police.

Ong, who pleaded guilty, has to do 60 hours of community service, observe a curfew as part of his sentence and continue psychiatric treatment, the Straits Times reported.

His parents also had to sign a S$5,000 (1,860 pounds) bond ensuring his good behaviour.

Ong's lawyer pleaded for leniency saying that Ong was a good student and that he regretted bringing shame to his family.
