SINGAPORE: A 48-year-old coffee shop assistant was
jailed 11 months on Thursday for outraging the modesty of a
7-year-old girl.
The man approached the girl who was clad only in her
underwear as she was playing with her bicycle along the corridor in
October last year.
He grabbed and kissed her wrist, before pulling on
her underwear.
The girl then informed her grandmother about the incident, and the
man was later arrested at a nearby coffee shop.
Court documents revealed that the man had committed a similar
offence in 2008, for which he was jailed 10 months.
For the current offence, he could have been jailed up to five
years, fined and caned.
