SINGAPORE — A 35-year-old who played an extra in a drama series was sentenced to two weeks' jail on Friday (June 23), after he pleaded guilty to two charges of voyeurism for taking and sharing a photograph he took of a male artiste using the toilet.
Tay Bai Chen, who was working as a deliveryman at the time of the incident, chanced upon the male actor in the toilet during a break in filming and then circulated the photo to his friends through messaging platform WhatsApp.Deputy Public Prosecutor Janice See told the court that around noon on April 10, 2021, Tay was at the Mediacorp building to play an extra in a Channel 8 Chinese drama.
Tay then used his mobile phone to take a photo of the actor from the back, knowing full well that the victim was unaware of the photo being taken, DPP See said.Accompanying the photo was a message in the Chinese dialect Hokkien, asking who wanted to see the actor's private parts. Tay was eventually identified after the actor's manager reached out to the individual who first contacted the victim through Instagram.
Speaking on behalf of Tay, lawyer Cory Wong said that this was an atypical case of voyeurism and distribution, and that his client did not do this for sexual gratification.brag to others in his chat groups.
