A Filipino designer allegedly filmed his flat mates by installing hidden cameras in the bathroom and the bedroom, the Dubai Criminal Court heard.
On November 7, at around 9am, ML, 34, Filipina coordinator was told by her flat mate M about a strange thing in the bathroom's dress hanger.
"I went and checked the bathroom and found out that was a camera.
"I lifted the device and took it to the police, where I was told that the camera does not have any memory card. I went back to the flat and confronted our male roommate, JL," she said.
JL admitted that he had fixed the camera but did not record anything. However, the woman asked him to hand her his two laptops, which he did.
The woman took the laptops and went straight to the police.
After checking the laptops, police found a number of video recordings of nude women.
JL admitted before the police that he had fixed a camera in the bathroom and recorded his flat mates.
He also admitted that he fixed another camera in one of the women's bedrooms while the occupant was taking bath. He confessed that he watch the videos for pleasure.
The court will give its verdict on July 8.
