SINGAPORE: A 20-year-old national serviceman pleaded
guilty Tuesday to molesting an 18-year-old student in a lift of an
apartment building.
Wong Guo Xun was found guilty of one charge of
outraging the modesty of the secondary school girl on March 18,
this year.
Investigations revealed that at 2.35pm that day, the
girl, a Chinese national, was heading to her tuition teacher's
place at Kim Tian Road.
Wong, who started following her at some point, continued to do so
all the way to the apartment where he then entered the lift with
her.
When the girl was about to step out of the lift, Wong touched her
buttocks.
The girl's tuition teacher later called the police and Wong was
arrested.
District Judge Ng Peng Hong called for a probation report and Wong
will be back in court on August 2.
He can be jailed up to two years, fined, or caned.
