A man, who was a teacher at a local school, allegedly committed voyeurism on six of his female colleagues at their workplace using his mobile phone, reported The Straits Times (ST).

The man allegedly committed the offences between 2021 and 2023.

On Mar. 10, the 53-year-old man was handed 11 charges, including nine counts of voyeurism.

Due to a gag order on the women's identities, the man's identity and details about the school cannot be disclosed.

Allegedly had 174 obscene video files in his possession

According to charge sheets seen Mothership, the man had purportedly used a mobile phone to observe some of the women's buttocks and breasts without their consent.

He also allegedly used the device to record the "buttocks area" of two of the women.

The man also allegedly possessed images of the buttocks of three unknown women.

He was also allegedly found with 174 obscene video files on his mobile device sometime before December 2023.

Court documents did not state how his alleged offences came to light, ST noted.
