against a student who had filmed her taking a shower.
"The Attorney-General's Chambers usually takes a very firm stance when children are victims in such situations. It is also more aggravated that children were the prime target. However, one factor that we know the AGC considers in whether to prosecute or not is the strength of the evidence," Ms Ng said.
Taking into account that the offender is a student and the video was apparently not circulated, the decision made by the Board of Discipline"fits the crime", said Ms James-Civetta. Still, he added, it is within AGC's rights to ask the police to issue a conditional warning if they assess that the person’s actions are an isolated incident and his chances of reoffending are not high.
"Twenty-four months is by no means a short period of time. If he does not cherish the chance afford to him and reoffends, he is likely to be charged for the latest offences and the offences for which he received the conditional warning," Mr Ganapathy added.
