SINGAPORE – A man linked to a chat group that hosted multiple upskirt images pleaded guilty on Friday (September 18) to a crime under the Movies Act.

Justin Lee Han Shi, 20, admitted that he was in possession of more than 400 obscene films last year.

Lee was one of four Singaporeans arrested last October in island-wide raids that brought down the SG Nasi Lemak Telegram group chat.

When it was still active, the group had about 44,000 members.

The platform was allegedly used by the group to share obscene photos and videos of women in Singapore.

The other three detained by the police were Leonard Teo Min Xuan, 27; Liong Tianwei, 38; and a 17-year-old man, who can no longer appear in the news due to recent amendments to the Childhood and Adolescence Act.

The law now covers those under the age of 18.

The cases against these three individuals are still pending.

Officers from the Ang Mo Kio Police Division had arrested the four for their “alleged involvement in circulating obscene materials and promoting vicious activities” through the chat group.

In the raid, the police seized more than 10 electronic devices, including a central processing unit, a laptop, a hard drive, and several mobile phones.

The group was reportedly created about two years ago, and the number of members increased as more people took notice. The group charged $ 30 as an entrance fee.

Her existence was exposed on September 30 last year by a Twitter user who said she was mentioned in the Telegram chat group.

This led many other Twitter users to express their disgust for the content circulating on SG Nasi Lemak.

On Friday, the court requested a report to assess Lee’s suitability for parole.

He will be sentenced on October 16.

For each charge of possession of obscene films, an offender can be jailed for up to six months and fined up to $ 20,000.
