S'pore man, 41, & serial voyeur, jailed for 7th time since 2018 after filming upskirt videos at Yishun

A 41-year-old man who has been repeatedly jailed for filming upskirt videos of women was once again sentenced to 28 weeks' jail on Friday (Oct. 23) for voyeurism.

Repeat offender

Gary Huang Kunjie has been convicted at least eight times and jailed at least seven, including this latest sentence.

The court gave him a longer term than the prosecution had sought and warned him that he could face caning if he reoffends, CNA reported.

Huang pleaded guilty to one count of voyeurism for an offence on Jun. 20, 2026.

He was on his way home from work when he saw a woman he found attractive, followed her onto an escalator at Northpoint City, and filmed a video under her skirt.

He used the video for his own sexual purposes before deleting it.

Between May and June 2026, Huang also admitted to filming videos of around 20 different women.

During this period, he would film the videos about twice a week.

After watching them for sexual gratification, he would delete the videos so police could not recover any of the recordings.

Timeline of Huang's past convictions

Huang was first convicted in 2010, when he was sentenced to two years' probation for taking more than 90 video clips of women with his phone over five days, according to a past report by The Straits Times.

In 2018, he was sentenced to 12 weeks' jail after pleading guilty to three of eight charges of taking upskirt videos of females in Yishun.

In 2019, he repeated his crime and was arrested at his then-workplace, Seagate Technology, for taking an upskirt video, and continued offending while released on bail, according to Yahoo.

He was jailed eight months after pleading guilty to taking upskirt videos on 46 separate occasions between December 2018 to April 2019.

In 2020, he was jailed again for similar offences and was released on Sep. 11, 2020.

Three weeks after his release, in 2021 he was once again jailed for the same offence, according to CNA.

In 2022, he was jailed for 36 weeks after pleading guilty to two counts of voyeurism.

He was also convicted in 2025. One of his earlier jail terms exceeded 60 weeks, CNA reported.

Given a longer jail term than the prosecution sought

The deputy public prosecutor (DPP) sought 22 to 25 weeks' jail for Huang's latest sentence, arguing that both general and specific deterrence were needed given Huang's previous convictions for similar offences.

The DPP said caning was not sought as a sentence because Huang faced only one charge, and he added that 22 to 25 weeks' jail was appropriate, reported CNA.

Considering Huang's long criminal history, the judge continued to press the prosecution on whether that term would be enough to deter Huang from reoffending, which the prosecution said it would.

However, the judge found the prosecution's suggested sentence to be on the low end.

For voyeurism, an offender can be jailed for up to two years, fined, caned, or given any combination of these penalties.

Judge expressed concern that Huang would reoffend

The judge also asked Huang, who was unrepresented, why the court should not impose caning given his repeated offences.

Huang said he was remorseful and claimed he had committed the offences due to stress from work, even though he has been seeking psychiatric help.

He said he felt "disappointed and sad" for himself because he could not secure a stable job.

The judge said he was concerned that Huang would keep reoffending, to which Huang responded that although work would keep him busy, he needed to "slow down" and take part-time work to "release mentally" and reintegrate into society.

Although the judge accepted that Huang was sincere in changing for the better, he warned that this was his last chance and that caning should be considered if he reoffended.
