A man who claimed to be a professor at Baptist University has admitted he took hundreds of pictures up women's skirts using his mobile phone.
Chan Yung, 39, pleaded guilty in Kwun Tong Court yesterday to one count of committing an act outraging public decency.
Court documents said a plain-clothes police officer saw Chan holding a mobile phone under the skirt of a woman on an escalator in a shopping mall in Mong Kok in February.
Chan was stopped by the police and upskirt photographs of the woman were found on the phone.
There were also more than 1,000 pictures of women, including 346 upskirt shots. The remainder were pictures of women wearing miniskirts or shorts, mostly taken from behind. Chan admitted he had been taking pictures in Mong Kok since January.
Acting Principal Magistrate Amanda Woodcock called for a community service order report on Chan. She adjourned sentencing to June 18 and freed Chan on bail.
