FORMER teen model, actor and TV host Mark Chow Yee Sze told a district court on Wednesday that he had no intention of molesting a former pub operations manager.
The 30-year-old, who was manager of modelling agency MC Models International, was giving his defence on a charge of outraging the modesty of the-year-old woman. The alleged offence took place at the office of the pub in the city area on Jan 10, 2007.
Chow, now unemployed, claimed in his defence that he was trying to wake the woman up. But when all his patting, stroking and grabbing actions did not seem to work, he jabbed her on the upper chest to make her wake up. He denied putting his hand inside her blouse to touch part of her breast.
The woman was then resting on the sofa in the office after having mixed alcohol with medication.
The woman complained to her boss that she had been molested and called the police after viewing the video from the closed-circuit television camera.
The trial was adjourned to dates to be fixed. If convicted, he faces a jail term of up to two years or fine or caning or any two sentence.
