Yin Yeung Derek Chan, a Saanich, British Columbia man, was sentenced to 4.5 years in prison for his extensive voyeurism, which involved secretly filming over 652 women and girls, including minors, in various public and private settings. The B.C. Provincial Court described Chan's actions as voyeurism on a 'near industrial scale,' with 90% of the images taken up victims' skirts. Chan's criminal history includes prior convictions for similar offenses, raising concerns about his behavior, especially as he worked in food delivery, giving him access to private spaces. Despite his claims of remorse, the judge noted his resistance to treatment and high likelihood of reoffending. Victims reported significant emotional distress, with many expressing fear and distrust towards men and altered their public behavior due to the violation of their privacy. The police are actively working to identify additional victims and have urged anyone who suspects they may be affected to come forward.
