In the case filed by the police, Magallanes was accused of violating
Section 159AAB or Section 159AAC of the Crimes Ordinance, which prescribes a
penalty of up to five years’ imprisonment if a “Peeping Tom” is convicted.
The alleged offense happened last June 25 at a women’s toilet
on the third floor of Kwai Chung Plaza, a mall in Kwai Chung, New Territories.
