A National University of Singapore student who was arrested on May 11 for allegedly filming a female student in a bathroom has been charged in court on May 13.

According to The Straits Times (ST), the accused is a student named Joel Rasis Ismail, 26.

Charged in court

He was charged with one count of insulting the modesty of the woman, 23, and one count of criminal trespass.

ST quoted a police spokesperson who gave more information on their investigation:

"Through follow-up investigations and with the aid of CCTV footage, officers from Clementi Police Division established the identity of the man and subsequently arrested him on the same day.

His laptops, mobile phones and other storage devices were seized for further investigations."

The spokesperson added that it is believed the accused tried to avoid being identified by allegedly changing his attire immediately after he committed the offences.

He is also believed to be involved in "other similar offences".

The accused is due back in court on May 27.

He will be remanded at the Institute of Mental Health for psychiatric observation.
