Man, 36, allegedly molested cabin crew on plane bound for Changi Airport
The man will be charged in court on Mar. 17, 2026.
A 36-year-old male Indian national who allegedly molested and harassed a female cabin crew member on a plane bound for Changi Airport will be charged in court on Mar. 17, 2026.
The police will be charging him for his suspected involvement in a case of outrage of modesty and intentional harassment committed on board an aircraft, according to a Mar. 16, 2026, police news release.
This comes after the police were alerted on Feb. 9, 2026, at 4:27pm to the incident, where preliminary investigations revealed that, during the flight, the man allegedly touched the female cabin crew member inappropriately when she was serving the man near his seat.
The release noted that she immediately warned the man to stop touching her and proceeded to the galley to prepare for landing.
The man then followed her to the galley, where he allegedly continued harassing her by moving closer to her and cornering her in the confined space.
According to the release, though the female cabin crew member shouted at him and left the galley, the man continued following her into the aisle and only returned to his seat after she reported the matter to her supervisor.
Upon arrival at Changi Airport, officers from the Airport Police Division conducted follow-up investigations and arrested the man.
Following this, he will be charged for using criminal force on a person with the intent to outrage modesty under Section 354(1) of the Penal Code 1871 read with Section 3 of Tokyo Convention Act 1971.
The offence carries an imprisonment term which may extend to three years, a fine, caning, or any combination of such punishments.
He will also be charged with intentionally causing harassment under Section 3(2) of the Protection from Harassment Act 2014 read with Section 3(1) of Tokyo Convention Act 1971.
The offence carries an imprisonment term of up to six months' jail, a fine of up to S$5,000, or both
