SINGAPORE: An allied educator has been charged in
court on Wednesday for allegedly asking a student to perform an
indecent act.

female student to touch his private parts on December 10,
2010.
The educator and student were said to be from the
same secondary school at the time of the offence.

to enhance the teaching and learning of students in academic and
non-academic areas.
The accused is expected to plead guilty on April 10.
If convicted, he could be sentenced up to five years' jail, fined
up to S$10,000 or both.
