SINGAPORE — Several months after being jailed for molesting his junior cabin crew colleague, a 51-year-old man was sentenced on Monday (June 20) to another three weeks behind bars for molesting a second stewardess.
He had slapped both women’s buttocks on separate flights. The second victim made a police report upon hearing about the first incident.
The Singaporean steward, who was the highest-ranked cabin crew member on board both flights, cannot be named due to a court order to protect the victims' identities.
On Monday, he pleaded guilty to one charge of molesting the second victim in 2018. She was aged 31 at the time.
His sentence came on top of the five weeks’ jail he received in March. Back then, he was convicted after claiming trial to another charge of molesting the first victim in 2019.
The court heard on Monday that for the 2018 case, he was employed as an in-flight manager at the time.
He and the victim were working on board a flight from Singapore to the city of Amsterdam in the Netherlands. It departed close to midnight on Nov 25, 2018.
As the highest-ranked cabin crew member, he was tasked with supervising the other cabin crew members under his charge and ensuring service standards on board the flight. The victim reported to him.
