Canada's biggest voyeur case leaves victims feeling hunted and traumatized

Yin Yeung Derek Chan, a gender-fluid 39-year-old who arrived in Canada from Hong Kong, was sentenced in May to four-and-a-half years for operating what officials describe as Canada’s largest voyeurism case, involving 652 women and children. Using his job as an Uber Eats delivery driver, Chan accessed laundry rooms and other private spaces to film victims in locations such as Value Village, Walmart, Indigo Books, and even a beach, later uploading the material to a personal website that amassed over a million views.

While authorities removed some content from his site and Flickr, many recordings persist on social media and porn sites, continuing to revictimize victims. Impact statements revealed profound psychological effects, including fear of public spaces, loss of employment, and financial hardship. Victims also reported ongoing anxiety, altered clothing choices, and reliance on limited counselling support. Police have declined to disclose all filming locations despite calls for greater transparency.
