An unnamed 22-year-old Singaporean studying in a "top university in the United Kingdom" has been charged with filming two women in toilets on two separate occasions, but was allowed to leave the country to continue school.

According to Yahoo, the man, who is not identified to protect the identity of his alleged victims, is accused of filming a woman showering in a room at Orchard Hotel on Dec. 2, 2015, at about 1:30am, and filming another woman relieving herself in a toilet at a condominium in the east of Singapore on Dec. 23, 2016, at around 8:30pm.

The accused allegedly planted a recording device in the toilets they used on both occasions.

He was charged in court on Oct. 2 with insulting the victims' modesty.

Accused is a student from top university in UK

The accused applied for permission on Oct. 2 to leave the country to continue his studies at a top university in the United Kingdom (UK), according to Yahoo.

It was reported that the man's defence lawyer, Kalidass Murugaiyan, had told the court that his client is an undergraduate and needed to return to the UK to resume his studies, and move into his residence in the UK.

In applying for permission, Murugaiyan told the court that his client was not a flight risk, explaining that he has his roots in Singapore.

The accused also had no criminal record prior to this and was cooperative with the authorities, his lawyer said.

Granted S$20,000 bail

The man was granted permission by the court to leave the country, with a bail for $20,000.

In fulfilment of his bail conditions, the accused must provide his full travel itinerary to the investigation officer overseeing his case before his departure, and provide the full details of his residence and contact numbers.

He must also remain contactable at all times, and surrender his passport to the investigation officer within 24 hours of returning to Singapore.

The accused's next court hearing will be on Dec. 11, where he will reportedly face additional charges.

If convicted, he may be jailed for up to one year, fined, or both.
