By TrendingWire Newsroom

A 16-year-old student in Hong Kong has been sentenced to up to six months in a detention centre for attempting to spy on a female classmate in a school toilet. The teenager pleaded guilty to one count of attempted voyeurism at the Kowloon City Court on Tuesday. Magistrate Tsang Chung-yiu ordered the boy to be held at the Sha Tsui Correctional Institution, a facility for young offenders. The court heard that the student was caught in the act by school staff. The magistrate urged the teenager to reflect on his behavior during his time at the detention centre. The incident has raised concerns about privacy and safety in schools. Attempted voyeurism is a serious offense under Hong Kong law, and the case highlights the consequences of such actions. The student's identity has not been disclosed due to his age and the nature of the case.
