Perth child psychiatrist had 409 pics of young boys in public toilets

A Perth child psychiatrist has been found with 409 images and 12 videos of young boys after he allegedly filmed them in public toilets.

Aaron Szen Yang Voon, 41, has been banned from carrying a smartphone after the evidence was found, all of which has been deemed child exploitation material.

A Perth court heard yesterday that he allegedly filmed young boys’ genitals in public toilets, with Perth Now reporting that some of the videos actually show his face as he turns off the camera.

There was one incident where Voon followed a child into a theatre lobby and filmed him urinating, “focusing on his genital area”.

He was arrested last week when he flew into the country from Canada, and will face court again on July 13.

Voon is out on bail but is now forced to stop working, hand over his passport, pay a $50,000 surety and report to police twice a week. He cannot go within 100m of public children where children regularly attend, and he can’t have any device that can record or receive electronic messages. He is not to have contact with anyone under the age of 18 and he can’t leave WA without permission.

He also faces allegations of child pornography in Canada and was arrested last month when he was allegedly caught filming a boy in a shopping centre public toilet.
