A MILITARY policeman, moonlighting as a tutor, convinced the
mother of a student, to let him sleep over for two nights in
2008.
Unknown to her, Kittredge Chan Lead Whye was a paedophile and
used the opportunity to fondle the boy's private parts on both
nights, before masturbating in front of the nine-year-old.
Chan, 23, was jailed a total of 1 1/2 years on Friday for
outrage of modesty and performing an obscene act in front of the
child. Two other outrage of modesty charges were taken into
consideration by the judge in the sentencing.
Chan had pleaded guilty on Aug 19. Then, the district court
heard that he had taught the boy English and mathematics at a
private tuition centre in 2007.
It was then he first fondled the boy's private parts but the
child did not tell anyone.
Since his grades did not improve, the boy's mother took him out
of the tuition centre in early 2008 and got Chan to tutor him at
home three times a week.
