International actress Michelle Yeoh's alleged half brother, Yeoh Lam Hoe, has been sentenced to five years in jail and three years of extended license suspension by the Croydon Crown Court after he admitted to seven counts of voyeurism.

Yeoh allegedly installed pinhole cameras at train toilets, hospital restrooms around London as well as the bathroom in his own house. Between 2011 and 2014, the doctor is said to have videotaped his colleagues and patients in different hospitals including St. Anthony's.

Thirty of his victims have already been identified, but the rest, an estimated 1,084 individuals are still unknown.  His victims were said to include men and women as well as children, the youngest being three years old.

Reports say that the crimes, the doctor has been committing to the public restroom users would have continued if it were not for a female worker at said hospital, who found a camera on the floor of the restroom last April.

The police were only able to find out who was behind the filming when Yeoh accidentally filmed himself while installing the camera inside the restroom. The authorities were said to have confiscated a total of 23 cameras installed in pens, watches and other places in the restroom, all of which Yeoh used to spy on his victims.

Yeoh pleaded guilty in court last November 26, Wednesday and has since been charged with seven counts of voyeurism and producing indecent images of children. He was also charged with possession of pornography.

However,  Dr.Yeoh, who has three children have expressed his worries over his family and hopes that they will not learn about his misdeed.
