A student who was secretly videotaped while undressing in her room at a university residence is outraged the cameraman will not face criminal charges.
'I can't understand why this is not a criminal offence,' the student, in her final-year at Chinese University's Shaw College, said. She discovered the tape on top of her roommate's cupboard on March 6.
Legislators and academics called for a law to allow prosecution of such practices.
The boyfriend of the student's roommate put the camera in the room and filmed for at least five months.
The student said she was helpless because she could not afford civil action, and accused the university of acting too slowly.
'I feel troubled when I still see [the man] on campus. He can still enter anyone's dormitory as a student and can do the same thing to anyone else. It gives me a lot of psychological pressure.
'And I believe he has got other tapes because the tape I got has been edited.' The woman's roommate, also a final-year student, was not disciplined because she said she was unaware of the filming. Her boyfriend appeared before the Senate's disciplinary committee.
