A RETAIL assistant slid his hand under the skirt of a
26-year-old British tourist in the underpass opposite The Central
along New Bridge Road at 1pm on Jan 15.
Less than a month later in Feburary, Jorge Ngoo Chang Chong, 22,
struck again. This time, he went up to a 31-year-old Canadian
walking to the taxi-stand at George Street at 2pm and rubbed her
right buttock before putting his hand under her dress to grope
her.
For these two offences and for molesting a maid last year, Ngoo
was jailed for nine months on Friday.
A district court heard that a taxi arrived in the nick of time
and the Canadian woman was able to escape his clutches.
Investigations then revealed that Ngoo had also outraged the
modesty of a 23-year-old Indonesian maid on July 6 last year at the
staircase of a block of flats in Tanjong Pagar.
The psychiatric report from the Institute of Mental Health
stated the molester was 'immature' for his age but had no
psychiatric ailment.
