AN UNEMPLOYED man, charged a week ago with molesting a
nine-year-old girl, was charged on Friday with four more
offences.
Lee Kia Kit, 45, allegedly touched the girl along a footway
beside Bedok North Road at about 7am last Thursday.
One of the fresh charges accuses him of touching the back and
buttocks of an 11-year-old girl 10 minutes earlier at the same
footway.
Lee is said to have insulted the modesty of a 21-year-old
student by uttering lewd remarks in Mandarin and Hokkien on Feb 16
and twice on Feb 26.
He was remanded for psychiatric assessment until March 25. If
convicted of outrage of modesty, he faces a jail term of up to two
years, fine, caning or a combination of the punishments.
The maximum penalty for insulting modesty is a year's jail and a
fine.
