An international student, identified as an Indian man, received a lighter sentence in Ontario for installing a washroom peephole to record female housemates undressing over a six-month period, according to a social media post citing National Post reporting. The judge's decision was reportedly influenced by a desire to avoid jeopardizing the man's immigration prospects to Canada. The man, who was suspended from school due to a low GPA, was working as a cook during the time of the offenses, the social media post stated. The perpetrator allegedly used the peephole to film his housemates for approximately six months. His primary purpose for being in Canada appeared to be related to immigration rather than academic pursuits, as indicated by his academic performance and employment status, according to the social media post. The case highlights concerns regarding immigration policies and their potential impact on sentencing for criminal offenses. The National Post reported on the incident, citing the court's consideration of the man's immigration status when determining the sentence.
