Plumber Breaks Into East Coast Condo Unit To See If Woman Was ‘Pleasuring Herself’
When you have nothing to do, your imagination may run wild — but few people end up doing something illegal because of this.
Just don’t be like the bored plumber who thought he heard “porn sounds” coming from a condominium unit in East Coast.
Gripped by curiosity, he ended up breaking into the residence to investigate.
His actions unsurprisingly landed him in jail.
Man was at condo for plumbing job
The accused, 35-year-old Vong Sarain, was at the East Coast condo for a plumbing job on 22 July 2022, according to court documents seen by The Straits Times (ST).
At about 6.45pm, the Cambodian national had finished his job on the 11th floor and was waiting for his wife to pick him up.
He felt bored and decided to walk around on the 12th floor.
Man breaks into East Coast condo unit after hearing ‘porn sounds’
When Vong passed by a unit, he thought he heard “porn sounds” coming from it.
He peeked through the window and saw a woman inside.
This piqued his curiosity even further, leading him to ring the doorbell — but nobody answered.
At this point, Vong decided to climb through the kitchen’s open window.
He wanted to see if the woman was “pleasuring herself”, the court heard.
Woman sees him & calls the police
Predictably, the woman saw Vong in the kitchen and yelled.
He quickly climbed back out, but she called the police, telling them about the incident.
Vong was later identified after investigations.
Breaking into East Coast condo a sinister action: Judge
Deputy Public Prosecutor Sarah Thaker called for Vong to be jailed for one to two weeks, saying he’d trespassed into a private home.
He also alarmed the woman, who, according to Vong’s lawyer, wasn’t doing anything in particular at the time. The lawyer was also quoted as saying,
It was simply the accused’s imagination getting the better of him.
The judge said Vong had caused “significant alarm” to the woman.
She also described his actions as “especially sinister” as he’d intended to commit voyeurism.
He was eventually sentenced to three weeks’ jail.
Man wants to apply for Singapore citizenship
According to his lawyer, Vong has a wife and child in Singapore.
He asked to be sentenced to probation instead, as he wanted to apply for Singapore citizenship.
The judge declined, saying citizenship applications aren’t considered when determining whether or not to sentence an offender to probation.
