Australian charged with outrage of modesty
Published on Nov 15, 2011
Australian James Anthony Woodburn was on Monday charged in a district court with using criminal force to outrage the modesty of a 28-year-old woman.
He allegedly grabbed her breast in the shopping area at Marina Bay Sands, at 12.20am on Oct 15. The 44-year-old regional manager of a marketing firm was also charged with insulting her modesty by showing her his middle finger.
The judge granted an adjournment to allow Woodburn's lawyer time to write to the Attorney- General's Chambers to try to get the charges reduced.
Woodburn, a permanent resident here, was released on bail of $15,000. He is allowed to travel overseas as his job requires him to do so.
