Top doctor in court accused of filming people in toilets

World-renowned hearing specialist Dr Lam Hoe Yeoh, known as Robin, was arrested at the privately-run St Anthony’s Hospital in North Cheam, Surrey.

A leading consultant prayed in the dock and held a bible in his hand as he appeared in court yesterday accused of using hidden equipment to spy on nearly a hundred people in hospital toilets.

World-renowned hearing specialist Dr Lam Hoe Yeoh, 61, allegedly secretly recorded intimate images of patients, colleagues and visitors using secret cameras he rigged up.

Yeoh, who is also known as Robin, was arrested at the privately-run St Anthony’s Hospital in North Cheam, Surrey, in April this year after an alleged victim contacted police.

He faces 29 charges of voyeurism concerning known alleged victims, two of making indecent images of a child, and two of possessing extreme pornography.

Father-of-three Yeoh also faces another charge of voyeurism covering 70 unknown alleged victims.

Wearing a navy blue suit, white shirt, beige striped tie and glasses, Yeoh appeared at Croydon Crown Court in south London accompanied by his wife.

The greying doctor clutched a blue hardback bible, locked his hands together against his face, closed his eyes and silently mouthed a prayer during the brief hearing.

Yeoh, of Banstead in Surrey, spoke only to confirm his name to the court clerk.

Judge Warwick McKinnon adjourned the case until September 16 when Yeoh is expected to enter a formal plea. He was remanded on bail.
