A man who sexually abused a six-year-old boy pleaded guilty to
his offence in the Supreme Court today.
29-year-old delivery man Chan Kok Weng committed a sexual act on
the pre-schooler in a male restroom at Yishun Community Library on
the 27th of April last year.
The Deputy Public Prosecutor Kan Shuk Weng told Justice Kan Ting
Chiu that Chan was loitering in the library looking out for young
boys going to the restroom alone.
Chan spotted the boy and entered the gents to wait for him.
The pre-schooler soon went into the restroom by himself while
his mother and sister waited outside.
Chan lured the unsuspecting pre-schooler into a cubicle and
proceeded to perform a sexual act on him.
But Chan stopped when he heard the boy's mother calling out for
him.
He let the boy out of the cubicle and helped him wash his
hand.
The boy's mother noticed that her son's hands were wet and asked
him if anyone had helped him at the sink.
The boy answered 'yes' and also told her about his ordeal with
Chan.
She immediately informed the library staff.
One of the male helpers at the library, Eugene Yeo, checked the
restroom and found Chan in one of the cubicles.
The pre-schooler identified Chan as the man who had sexually
abused him just minutes ago.
Chan was handed to the Police.
He will be sentenced at a later date.
