Nope. Outrage of modesty is up to the "victim's" personal
feeling. If the victim felt she has been violated for whatever
reasons, she can pursue the matter. But whether her charge will
stand in court is another matter. Because the ruling will be based
on evidence presented and an actual outrage of modesty actually
occured given the evidence and the standards of recent
precedents.
The offence created in s.354 "outrage of modesty" or otherwise
commonly known as "molest" is not even applicable to this case
....
Btw actually outrage of modesty is not "up to the "victim's"
personal feelings."
s.354 Penal Code is actually more concerned with the intention of
the accused not whether the person molested was actually aware of
it.
Take the example of a 9 yr old girl , Jane , John , a dirty chee ko
pek sees Jane and takes the oppotunity to rub his groin against her
shoulder in the lift.
Jane is unlikely to know that her modesty is outraged. He can be
charged under this section.
For indecent exposure, your friend probably is not involved in
indecent exposure as judges will look at the norms in society to
decide the standard, and looking at current norms and trends now, i
guess asscrack showing is so common that half the population of
singapore girls will have to be arrested if she does get charged
for indecent exposure.
