SINGAPORE: A cross-dressing doctor was put on probation for one year on Tuesday for insulting the modesty of a 19-year-old undergraduate.
Ivan Ngeow Ko Yen, 37, had admitted in March to dressing up as a Victoria Junior College student and lifting his skirt to expose his genitals to the girl in August 2010.
Ngeow, a geriatric medicine doctor at Changi General Hospital, appeared in court on Tuesday, accompanied by his wife and other family members.
To avoid the media, he changed tops twice and donned a cap and windbreaker when he left the court.
Ngeow declined to comment when approached by reporters.
In sentencing, district judge Francis Remedios said he accepted the probation officer's "very comprehensive report" which had thoroughly assessed any risk of Ngeow re-offending.
Ngeow must also follow conditions stated in the report, which include psychiatric follow-ups determined by the Institute of Mental Health and 60 hours of community service.
He must also attend specific programmes with the Community Development, Youth and Sports Ministry and stay at home from 10pm to 6am.
His wife has been ordered to place a S$5,000 surety bond.
In the meantime, Ngeow can continue his work at the hospital.
