SINGAPORE : Former actor Mark Chow, who had been convicted
of molestation charges, would have been a free man this Saturday if
not for a successful appeal by the prosecution on
Friday.
In the High Court, Justice Steven Chong said that the
sentence for Chow's previous convictions was "manifestly
inadequate".
For his first molestation conviction, he was initially
fined S$6,000. As he could not pay in full, he had to serve four
weeks' jail in default.
The prosecution appealed against the S$6,000 fine.
He was also jailed four months and two weeks after being convicted
of three charges of molestation and criminal intimidation.
With the prosecution's successful appeal, he now has to serve 18
months' jail in total. The four months and six weeks which Chow had
already served will be deducted from the 18 months.
Justice Chong said that there were aggravating factors such as a
lack of remorse from Chow and the violation of the victim's private
parts.
