The lecturer planted cameras in the showers of female students
An ex-Cambridge student turned business studies lecturer at University College Birmingham was suspended this week for planting a spy camera in a bathroom to watch female students shower.
Dr Paul Powen Hwang, 33, hid the camera in an air freshener in the bathroom of a house he rented to a group of female students.
The camera was discovered when the members of the household became aware that the air freshener “began to move”.
Jess Howard, who is studying for the Higher Education course in Business and Marketing where she was taught by Hwang said “It’s shocking that someone you put so much trust in would just abuse it in this way. Lecturers are meant to be people you can trust, but Hwang totally overstepped the mark.”
Hwang is awaiting sentence at Birmingham Crown Court after pleading guilty to voyeurism, but faces a place on the Sex Offenders Register.
The Australian national had quit his post in Birmingham four months ago for unknown reasons.
Dr.Hwang had been a PhD research student at our very own Cambridge Institute for Manufacturing, where he looked at the “Intersection between medicine, law and finance, especially in Australia, the UK and the US”. He also had an Msc in Business Management Research from Oxford.
Idiot
So – he hasn't been convicted yet. Although I suppose this is in the spirit of tabloids. Innocent until proven guilty is a bit liberal.
You're an idiot. He pleaded guilty, he just hasn't been sentenced yet.
It never ceases to amaze me what people will do to get a kick ! it also amazes me that individuals become righteous about about the 'innocent until proven guilty' business, it obvious the man is guilty but yes I agree that these things are difficult to prove, perhaps that's whey many sex offenders get away with their behaviour without being punished – the man needs rehabilitation and sex offender registered for life !! PS: Penis Animal ?????????? very appropriate I'm sure
LAD!
I am so appalled at him; he was my lecturer and year tutor!!! How disgusting!!! It shows what a vile individual he really was. Poor girls! He was someone with such professionalism and has just ruined it all over something very pathetic. Well, he'll deserve what he gets.
Hirarious!
it says as much for him as it does the rest of you that this is the most read story…
Hahaha…MASSIVE JOKER
This guy also ran a basically fake tutoring agency called "Oxbridge Education", see http://www.oxbridgetutor.com ripped off from the Cambridge Summer Schools website, through which he tried to rip off both tutors and students.
