SINGAPORE: He groped her left buttock while she was
on her way to the toilet at a pub.
Five minutes later, 35-year-old Ramasamy Ramesh, an
Indian national, touched the 24-year-old woman's buttock again when
she came out of the toilet.
For that, Ramesh, who is a construction worker, was
jailed six months on Friday for two counts of outraging the modesty
of the woman.
The court heard that on 2 September 2011, Ramesh and the woman were
at a pub "Prince of Wales Backpacker Pub" at 101 Dunlop
Street.
Ramesh did not order anything but instead stood at the corridor
leading to the toilets.
He then molested the woman twice as she passed him along the
corridor.
MediaCorp understands that Ramesh was drunk at the time of the
offences.
For outrage of modesty, he could have been jailed up to two years
and fined.
