SINGAPORE - A cleaner who molested a 19-year-old girl in a lift after trailing her from a bus interchange wept after he was jailed for 10 months and ordered to be given three strokes of the cane on Thursday.
Ong Siang Long, 27, had pleaded guilty a week earlier to grabbing her buttocks and touching her left breast in the lift of a HDB block in the early hours of March 2.
The court heard that the girl had fallen asleep and missed her stop before waking at Yishun Bus Interchange.
Ong, who had sat beside her, alighted there and decided to follow her in an effort to make friends.
