A teenager, who offered to help a blind man cross the road, was later molested by the man in the toilet of a nearby coffee shop.
Ramli Salleh, 39, was jailed for six months. He had pleaded guilty today in a district court to touching and rubbing his face on the 14-year-old boy's groin.
Court papers state that the secondary school student, dressed in a T-shirt and shorts, was heading home at 5pm on Sept 17 last year when he saw Ramli standing at a junction at Ang Mo Kio Avenue 4 and offered to help him cross the road.
Ramli instead asked the boy to take him to a washroom. There, the man grabbed the boy and dragged him into a cubicle.
In mitigation, Ramli, who was not represented, told the district judge that he is blind and that he will leave his fate in the judge's hands.
The court also heard that Ramli has a sexually-transmitted disease.
Ramli could have been jailed up to two years, fined and caned. CHANNEL NEWSASIA
