A Malaysian-born ear specialist residing in Britain has admitted and pleaded guilty in a British court to secretly filming hundreds of patients, colleagues, hospital visitors and children.
Dr Lam Hoe Yeoh, 62, who was considered a top doctor in the country, admitted to using his position to plant cameras and film people using toilets at the Epsom and St Helier Hospital, St Anthony’s Hospital where he worked and other clinics.
He also admitted to spying on his victims using hidden cameras in his watch, pens and lining of bins and made mini-home movies out of the footage, British news site Your Local Guardian reported today.
In his case hearing, which took place yesterday at the Croydon Crown Court, the court was told of Lam masturbating over some the videos and how he had an obsession for children’s books, with a huge collection of Enid Blyton novels.
According to the report, he also filmed guests at his home in Banstead and put cameras in train toilets.
In several cases, Lam filmed mothers and their children who used the train toilets.
He was also found to have in his possession pornographic material of humans carrying out sexual acts on dogs.
His acts were found out when one of his cameras fell from a toilet wall in St Anthony’s Hospital, which prompted officers to search his home, office, cars and computers, Your Local Guardian reported.
Lam had 30 identified victims and 1,084 unidentified victims.
He pleaded guilty to seven counts of voyeurism, six counts of making indecent images of a child and one count of possessing extreme pornography.
The offences were reportedly committed between Jan 1, 2011, and April 15, 2014.
The report added that Lam will be sentenced at the Croydon Crown Court tomorrow.
His wife, Ivy Muihong Sng, 57, also faced a single charge of voyeurism related to the footage filmed in their home, but the prosecution chose not to pursue the charge.
