    PA-83JS-16-11/2024 (Mahkamah Majistret)

    The court accepted the voluntary guilty plea and evidence establishing all elements of Section 509; aggravating factors—deliberate covert recording of a woman showering, breach of trust while residing in victim's home, multiple videos and victim trauma—outweighed personal mitigation; public interest and need for deterrence justified a custodial sentence; accordingly the defendant was convicted under Section 509 Penal Code and sentenced to six months imprisonment from date of arrest (21 November 2024).
