廁所偷窺


遭控遊蕩 無人指證

前年六月及七月,香港大學一名機械工程系男生,涉嫌先後用手機偷拍住在同一宿舍並彼此認識的三名女學生淋浴,他被法院裁定不誠實地獲益而取用電腦罪名成立,判感化一年,同時要按感化官指示接受心理輔導,另他亦已被開除宿生資格及遷出宿舍。

另外,香港科技大學一名姓王(廿一歲)內地博士生,被指前年十一月十八日匿藏於教職員宿舍的女廁,透過廁所頂部的空隙偷窺隔壁廿五歲女子如廁,遭落案控告遊蕩罪,惟最終無人能指證他曾向下望向事主,無證明他有偷窺意圖,因而得以脫罪,但裁判官認為被告行為相當可疑,兼無合理辯解,行使裁判官權力下令他簽保二千元兼守行為一年。

這則新聞所講第二件案,我看了不明所以。這博士生在女廁格內,有需要證明他曾向下望向事主,並有偷窺意圖,才能算遊蕩?如果東方的報導無錯,本案控方只需證明被告在女廁逗留(hang about),導致女事主合理地擔心本身的安全或利益,不就足夠定罪了嗎?與其行使《刑事訴訟程序條例》第109I條判令被告簽保守行為,裁判官應該把他定罪。

  1. 當年新聞是這樣的:
    東方:姓雷婦人...見有男子匿藏廁格內,正低頭從廁格底部空隙偷窺隔鄰女子如廁...涉嫌偷窺姓林女子...
    蘋果:研究生昨午潛入...女廁內,涉嫌從廁格頂偷窺鄰格女職員如廁。當事人懵然不知,幸其他如廁女職員發現...
    後來過堂時,明報:博士生聲稱肚痛找不到廁所,衝入女廁解決,... 博士生昨原承認遊蕩,解釋只是張望會否被人發現他用女廁,... 裁判官表示這可作抗辯理由,被告與辯方商討後決定不認罪

  2. 標少,本人亦試過人有三急,男廁滿座,迫住去女廁解決,真人真事,所不同的是,本人待外面無人的時候,才敢走出女廁。

    1. I am not saying you must be a peeping Tom. There are different facts of cases rendering different results.
      In the present case, a powerful cross examination can extract more facts of the case.

    1. If I have an urgent need to obey the call of nature or to move my bowel and have to enter a female toilet, I will call out loudly to alert any such female user inside. I would probably say loudly, "Sorry, I have to use the toilet otherwise I would wet my pant." I would use it without peeping underneath or over the cubicle. I would say loud and clear after use and rush out and go back to the male toilet to water my hands. In the circumstances, if there are females inside, I don't think I will end up being charged.
