Another Peeping Tom in NTU Hostel Caught, Making It the 2nd Case in 4 Days

If you intend to shower in any university hostel, here’s an advisory:

You’d not only be safe from prying phone cameras, but you’d save some money as you’re showering and washing your clothes at the same time. Killing two birds with one stone has never felt so satisfying.

And the reason why we’ve advocating this?

It turns out that there has not just been a case of a peeping tom in NTU recently: there has been two cases in four days.

2 Peeping Tom Cases in 4 Days

If you’ve been coming to our app daily, you’d have known about a 19-year-old guy who was caught filming another guy showering in an NTU hostel on 21 April 2019. As he wasn’t even a student or staff in the school, he was being investigated not just for the peeping tom incident but for criminal trespass as well.

Well, it turned out that four days before that, on 17 April 2019, there was another peeping tom incident, this time made by a 22-year-old undergraduate who filmed a female student in an NTU hostel.

The incident has come to light later as the police updated the public about the 21 April 2019 case earlier, while the media broke this story that apparently happened on 18 April 2019 on 26 April 2019 instead.

According to TODAYonline, it happened at 10:00 p.m.—the 20-year-old victim had spotted a phone on top of her cubicle.

Now, remember: when this happened, the Monica Baey case had not gone viral yet.

She immediately got dressed and tried to catch the perpetrator but could not find him.

Soon after, she told a friend about it and they reported the incident to the campus security unit, who offered to drive them to a police station. In addition, they were constantly reassuring her.

The victim decided to make a police report and was accompanied by an NTU officer.

The perpetrator is now being investigated, and it turned out that he is also a resident of the hall.

NTU Reviewed Disciplinary Framework Since Last Year

Unlike NUS, which started reviewing its disciplinary framework after the Monica Baey incident, NTU has already started their review late last year, which looked at “whether support resources like care for victims, as well as rehabilitation and sanctions for offenders are enough.”

In other words, yes, the school in a bird-don’t-lay-egg place has already been Monica-Baey-ed, which could explain why the staff seem to know what to do when the victim sought help from them.
