SINGAPORE: A 46-year-old cook was sentenced to eight years’ jail and 12 strokes of the cane on Monday (Apr 9) for sexually assaulting a 13-year-old boy at a coffee shop in Yishun in November 2016.
Samsugani Jahir Hussain, an Indian national, had made friends with the teenager about four months before the assault. They lived in the same public housing estate at Yishun Street 22, the High Court heard.
The victim, who cannot be named due to a gag order, often cycled around the neighbourhood. Samsugani teased the teenager about his weight and would call him “gundu”, meaning “fat" in Tamil.
At about 9pm on Nov 25, 2016, the victim, on his way home, bumped into Samsugani. He told the man his bicycle had a punctured tyre, but that he could not get it repaired because the bicycle shop was closed.
Samsugani told the boy of another bicycle shop in the area, and handed him S$2. The boy repeatedly declined the money, but Samsugani insisted he take it. They parted ways, agreeing to meet at a McDonald’s outlet later that night.
However, the victim decided against going to the bicycle shop. He felt uncomfortable about taking Samsugani’s money and walked back to McDonald’s intending to return the cash.
