A 68-YEAR-OLD man was hauled to court on Tuesday for allegedly
molesting a 14-year-old girl and exposing himself to her.
Ho Ching, a
former ice-cream vendor, allegedly kissed the girl in the living
room of his flat at New Upper Changi Road on Aug 8 last year.
He is also accused of taking her left hand to rub his private
parts.
A third charge accuses him of insulting her modesty by pulling his
bermudas down to expose himself.
Ho, now unemployed, was given a week to engage a lawyer.
If found guilty, he can be jailed for up to two years or fined or
both on each of the two outrage of modesty charges.
For insulting modesty, the maximum penalty is a jail term of up to
one year or fine or both.
