It is just a fetish: Peeping Tom at ITE West pleads for mercy

SINGAPORE - A man who crossed-dressed in hopes of entering a female toilet unnoticed to peep was busted.

The incident happened at ITE College West on Monday and photos of the voyeur were posted on social media immediately.

"This guy dressed as a girl went into my school girl's toilet and tried to peep at my friend," user Norrick Nolesta (@Noyyick) tweeted.

The tweet was later removed, but pictures of the culprit appeared on forums.

The bespectacled man was photographed in a black shirt and matching skirt. He also wore a wig and had a black-white trucker cap.

"It is just a fetish, please," the culprit said in a video of the confrontation that later ensued. He later went on his knees and begged the students not to call the police.

"Take out your wig. You look very disgusting," one student told the voyeur off.

The police were later seen in one of the photos questioning the man.

According to The New Paper, he was subsequently arrested for criminal trespass, and under investigation for outraging the modesty of a woman. He is also alleged to have taken photos and videos while in the toilet.
