SINGAPORE: A man who allegedly hid a camera in a toilet on a Scoot flight from Japan to Singapore was charged on Thursday (Nov 5).

Hugh Lutley, a 52-year-old British national, was handed one charge each of voyeurism and obstruction of justice by deleting evidence.

He is accused of operating a camera at about 5.10pm on Oct 7 with the intention of observing passengers performing a private act.

The alleged offence took place on board Scoot flight TR821, which was travelling from Osaka, Japan, to Singapore, according to the charge.

In a news release, the police said Lutley had allegedly concealed a camera in one of the toilets on the plane.

After leaving the toilet, he allegedly activated the camera's recording function remotely using a mobile application on his phone.

A cabin crew member later used the toilet and discovered the hidden camera, the police said. She removed it and immediately alerted her colleague.

According to the police, Lutley later tried to retrieve the camera but found it had already been removed.

He then allegedly deleted the mobile application and all related photos from his phone in an attempt to avoid detection, forming the basis of his second charge for obstruction of justice.

Lutley was detained for investigations on arrival at Changi Airport. His phone and camera were seized.

On Thursday, he indicated that he would plead guilty. He was offered bail of S$10,000 and a pre-trial conference was scheduled for Nov 17.

According to court records, he is represented by Mr Barry Douglas Delaney of Delaney Advocates & Solicitors.

If convicted of voyeurism, Lutley could be jailed for up to two years, fined, caned, or given any combination of these punishments.

For obstruction of justice, he could be jailed for up to seven years, fined, or both.

新加坡：一名男子涉嫌在酷航从日本飞往新加坡的航班上，于周四（11月5日）被控在厕所内藏匿摄像头。

52岁的英国公民休·卢特利被控一项偷窥罪和一项妨碍司法公正罪（删除证据）。

他被指控于 10 月 7 日下午 5 点 10 分左右操作摄像头，意图偷窥乘客进行私密行为。

根据指控，涉嫌犯罪行为发生在酷航TR821航班上，该航班从日本大阪飞往新加坡。

警方在新闻稿中称，卢特利涉嫌在飞机上的一个厕所里藏匿了一台摄像头。

据称，他离开洗手间后，通过手机上的移动应用程序远程启动了摄像头的录制功能。

警方称，一名机组人员随后使用洗手间时发现了隐藏摄像头。她将其取下并立即通知了同事。

据警方称，卢特利后来试图取回相机，但发现相机已被取走。

据称，他随后删除了手机上的移动应用程序和所有相关照片，试图逃避侦查，这构成了他妨碍司法公正的第二项指控的基础。

卢特利抵达樟宜机场后被拘留接受调查，他的手机和相机被没收。

周四，他表示将认罪。他获准以1万新元保释，预审会议定于11月17日举行。

根据法庭记录，他的代理律师是德莱尼律师事务所的巴里·道格拉斯·德莱尼先生。

如果偷窥罪名成立，卢特利可能被判处最高两年监禁、罚款、鞭刑或上述任何组合的处罚。

他因妨碍司法公正，可能被判处最高七年监禁、罚款或两者并罚。
