SINGAPORE: An unemployed man was on Tuesday jailed
18 months and given four strokes of the cane for molesting two
teenage boys.
Twenty-three-year-old Kelvin Yeo Gao Wei made
friends with one his victims, a 15-year-old student, in September
last year.
Yeo subsequently asked the boy to perform a sexual
act in his presence on September 22.
He also told the boy he would gather his friends to hunt him down
should the youngster refuse to do so.
The teenager agreed to meet Yeo after school on September 23, 2009
for fear of being hurt.
Yeo then brought him to a male toilet at Delta Sports Complex and
molested him.
By using similar threats, Yeo managed to lure another boy to his
flat at Block 107, Commonwealth Crescent on December 29 last
year.
The 14-year-old student went there at around 11.40pm. Yeo then
instructed him to remove his trousers before molesting him.
Yeo also warned the boy not to notify anybody about the
incident.
The student told the police on January 6 this year, about his
ordeal and Yeo was arrested.
For molesting the boys, Yeo could have been jailed up to five years
and fined or caned for each charge.
