A 41-year-old Filipino will be spending six months in jail for filming her female compatriot flatmates naked in the shower.
The defendant installed a GoPro camera on the ceiling of their flat’s bathroom to take videos of his flatmates when they would take showers, reported Gulf News.
He pleaded guilty before the Dubai Court of First Instance on September 20 to the charges that were filed against him by his female flatmates.
One of the Filipino clerk’s flatmates discovered the camera while taking a shower and immediately told the other women in the flat of her discovery.
Upon confrontation, their male roommate admitted to filming his flatmates and convinced the women not to file a case. In exchange, the man promised to delete all the files in the memory of the camera.
However, one of the female roommates discovered the next day that the files were still in the memory and have yet to be deleted.
Over 100 images and video clips of the women naked were found in the memory.
Presiding judge Habib Awad said that the defendant will also get deported after his time in jail.
The court ruling remains subject to appeal.
