SINGAPORE: A policeman allegedly committed voyeurism against nine men, including his colleagues, at a neighbourhood police centre (NPC) and two Home Team facilities, among other places.
The 24-year-old man, who cannot be named to protect the identities of his alleged victims, also purportedly molested two of them.
On Thursday (July 9), he was handed 13 charges – two counts of molestation and 11 counts of voyeurism.
Six of the victims were allegedly targeted at the NPC and Home Team facilities, and he is accused of committing all the offences between 2023 and 2025.

“We are unable to comment further as court proceedings are ongoing.”
