Hidden camera recordings of girls getting changed stored on shared Google drive folder called ‘vids for life’, Hong Kong court hears
Juvenile Court also heard specific girls were targeted in a chat group on Telegram instant messaging platform
The Juvenile Court also learned specific girls were targeted in a chat group on an instant messaging platform that members hastily left when teachers began rounding up suspects last March.
On trial are two 16-year-old boys, who pleaded not guilty to five counts of obtaining access to a computer with a view to dishonest gain for oneself or another, an offence punishable by five years’ imprisonment, and conspiracy charges.
Neither the pupils nor the school can be named for legal reasons.
Prosecutors alleged the boys installed hidden GoPro and iPad cameras in two classrooms and two changing rooms, in an offence that spanned six months from September 2016 to March 23 last year. The case involved more than 40 videos and photos.
I asked if there were other videos. [The boys] said they didn’t know what was happening
On Friday, the second defendant’s form teacher testified that they first discovered the videos in a shared Google drive folder named “vids for life”.
