The victim, who was 20 at the time, had entered a toilet around 15 minutes before her class at 9am.
Zhou, who was taking a break from his tutorial lesson, saw the victim entering the toilet and followed her. Deputy Public Prosecutor R. Arvindren said the accused knew the victim was in the only locked cubicle and entered an adjacent cubicle. Zhou then held his phone below the toilet cubicle partition with the rear camera facing upwards to film an upskirt video of the victim.When she looked down and saw a phone, she shouted and Zhou ran out of the toilet.The victim was traumatised and rushed to her class to inform her classmate.The victim's professor was then informed and the campus security was alerted. Zhou was arrested by the police that same day.
DPP Arvindren said Zhou admitted to the police that he had recorded the victim while she was in the toilet and claimed he did so as he was feeling stressed and emotional.The prosecutor said an Institute of Mental Health report dated May 2022 showed that the accused was suffering from early psychotic symptoms at the time of his offences, and this may have contributed to the offending behaviour.
