Man fined for trespassing house with intent to insult modesty
SINGAPORE: A man who trespassed into his neighbour's house with intent of insulting her modesty was on Wednesday fined S$2,000 by a district court for the offence.
Low Kee Chuan, 63, was fined an additional S$1,000 for molesting another woman.
Both incidents took place in June this year.
In the first case, the court heard that the 55-year-old victim's son had heard noises coming from the living room of the flat in Teck Whye area.
When he went out to see what was going on, he saw Low kneeling next to the victim, who was sleeping, with his pants down. The victim's pants were also pulled down to her knees.
The victim's son then shouted at Low, which woke the victim.
Low then fled from the house.
In the second case that took place a few days later, Low targeted a 21-year-old woman on board a MRT train.
The court heard that he used the back of his hand to tap the victim's left breast as she sat next to him on the train.
The victim's mother then alerted SMRT staff, who detained Low at Bukit Batok MRT station.
Low could have been jailed and fined for both offences. - CNA/xq
