SINGAPORE - A 27-year-old woman, who was wearing a neck brace, was unable to move her head away when her friend's father forcibly kissed her.
The woman was staying the night at a friend's house and was watching a movie on a tablet computer with her friend's 57-year-old father while her friend was asleep.
The unemployed man was jailed for nine months on Tuesday for molest. Sim Joo Beng, 57, admitted to using criminal force to outrage the modesty of the woman by stroking her head down to her buttock area, hugging her and placing his hands on her chest, and forcibly kissing her three times.
A district court heard that the victim went to stay overnight at her friend's flat on July 12 last year. Just after midnight, Sim and the victim were watching a movie on a tablet computer at the balcony of the unit.
