The man had filmed unknown women at various locations, including escalators and shopping centers, between 2016 and 2019.

Lim Yi Fei, a 25-year-old Singaporean, was sentenced to nine months and 31 weeks in jail for his crimes, including outrage of modesty and theft.

Lim pleaded guilty to five charges and had 11 other charges taken into consideration.

He would approach women and record their buttocks while behind them, choosing them randomly while traveling to and from work.

He was arrested on September 27, 2019.

About a week before his arrest, Lim molested a woman at Serangoon MRT station, following her and groping her buttocks.

The victim told her friend and informed station security, who called the police, but Lim had already left the station.

In 2024, Lim recorded an upskirt video of another woman at Buangkok MRT station, touching her buttocks with his phone.

The woman confronted him, and two passers-by helped detain Lim at the station.

One of the passers-by alerted the station staff, who called the police, and Lim was arrested and remanded in custody.

In another incident in 2025, Lim recorded a continuous upskirt video of a woman at Dhoby Ghaut MRT station.

A man saw what Lim was doing and confronted him, grabbing his arm to prevent him from escaping.

Lim resisted, but the man held on, and a struggle ensued, with the man pushing Lim to the floor and holding him down.

Lim was arrested, and his bail was eventually revoked.

In a separate case in 2018, Lim stole items from a locker at the Water Sports Centre, including a black Prada wallet worth $700.

He also stole an NRIC, credit cards, and clothing items, thinking the wallet looked nice and wanting to sell it.

The prosecutor sought at least 15 to 16 months' jail for Lim, citing the need for a stiff and deterrent sentence.

The prosecutor said Lim's actions were a blatant and egregious invasion of his victims' privacy, deserving of strong condemnation.

Lim's lawyer said his client's actions were not done out of malice, but rather due to a continuing case of conduct.

The lawyer brought up Lim's adjustment disorder and childhood trauma, not as an excuse, but to explain his behavior.

The judge agreed that Lim should not be prejudiced, but noted that he had molested multiple victims and repeatedly offended while on bail.

For intruding upon a woman's privacy, Lim could be jailed up to a year, fined, or both.

For assault or using criminal force, he could be jailed up to two years, caned, fined, or given any combination of these punishments.
