A man pretended on social media to be a female Gynecologist for sole purpose of fooling dozens of women into sending him photos of their genitalia.
The man used a fake Facebook profile to contact the women, asking them to fill out surveys that included questions about their genitals and sex lives.
For a period over four years, the fake female Gynecologist tricked thirty eight women and received approximately one thousand intimate photos and videos from them.
The tricks of the men were discovered last year July when a woman, who had grown suspicious of Ooi and realized there was no such doctor, lodged a police report.
The police then raided Ooi’s home and seized his devices. All the photos and videos were found in his devices. The man was arrested and arraigned in court.
According to the court documents, Ooi admitted tricking the women on Facebook. The High Court in Singapore found Ooi Chuen Wei, 37, from Malaysia, guilty of “impersonation” and sentenced him to 3 years and 4 months in prison.
Deputy public prosecutor R. Arvindren asked for a prison sentence of at least three years and eight months for Ooi, citing the large number of victims and how long Ooi had continued his deception.
Ooi Chuen executed a well thought out scheme to satisfy his sexual desires.
“Chuen pretended that he was a female Gynecologist and deceived several victims into sending various compromising photos and videos of themselves. (He) has abused the trust the public has for doctors and he has exploited social media to commit the crimes,” he added.
