Former Mediacorp DJ Charged with Voyeurism & Sexual Offences

Gunalan Morgan, a 43-year-old radio DJ from Mediacorp’s Tamil station Oli968, has been charged in Singapore’s State Courts with multiple offences, including voyeurism and sexual communication with a minor.

On March 21, 2025, he was handed seven charges, four of which are sex-related. A gag order has been issued to protect the identities of the victims and the locations where the alleged incidents occurred.

Mediacorp, in response to media queries, confirmed that Gunalan was immediately suspended after his arrest and has since been issued a termination notice. The company declined to provide further comments on the case.

Allegations of Sexual Communication with a Minor

Gunalan is accused of engaging in sexual communication with a minor under the age of 16 between August 25 and August 31, 2024. Such communication is considered a serious offence under Singapore law.

On September 16, 2024, after learning that a police report had been filed against him, Gunalan allegedly deleted Instagram conversations with the minor, leading to an additional charge of obstructing the course of justice. This charge is particularly severe, carrying a penalty of up to seven years in jail, a fine, or both.

Voyeurism Charges

Gunalan also faces multiple charges of voyeurism. He allegedly used his mobile phone on four separate occasions on August 28, 2024, to record a woman’s genitals, breast, or underwear without her consent.

In another instance, on October 8, 2024, he is accused of secretly recording another woman to observe her genitals or underwear.

Under Singapore’s laws, voyeurism carries penalties of up to two years in jail, a fine, caning, or a combination of these punishments.

Court Proceedings

Gunalan appeared in court unrepresented and did not enter a plea. He informed the judge that he intends to engage a lawyer. His next court mention is scheduled for April 21, 2025.

If convicted of sexual communication with a minor, Gunalan could face up to two years in jail, a fine, or both. The obstruction of justice charge could result in a jail term of up to seven years, a fine, or both. For the voyeurism charges, he could be sentenced to a jail term of up to two years, a fine, or caning.

The case has garnered significant public attention due to Gunalan’s profile as a media personality. It serves as a reminder of the legal consequences of such offences and the seriousness with which Singapore authorities handle crimes related to minors and voyeurism.

Gunalan’s termination by Mediacorp signals a swift corporate response, aligning with the company’s zero-tolerance stance on such matters. His upcoming court sessions will determine the legal repercussions he may face.
