A PATRON of the Dragonfly Pub at St James Power Station had one
drink too many and ended up outraging the modesty of a waitress in
January this year. Lin Guocheng, 37, was sentenced to three months'
jail by a district court on Wednesday.
The Chinese national pleaded guilty to using criminal force by
grabbing the right breast of the 26-year-old waitress as she was
coming down the spiral staircase in the pub from the second storey.
The victim cannot be named for this is a molest case.
She was heading down to the first floor to get glasses at
11.45pm on Jan 22. The court heard he had been drinking alcohol and
immediately after committing the offence, he went to hide under the
spiral staircase and squatted there.
The waitress, also a Chinese national, demanded he come out and
when he did, he apologised to her and walked away. She informed a
bouncer of the pub, who detained Lin and called the police.
