Man molested 28 girls over 11 years

[MarrickG]

A MAN dubbed the heartbeat molester was sentenced to 10 years' jail and 21 strokes of the cane on Friday for molesting young girls over a span of 11 years.

Described as one of the worst serial offenders, Martin Tan Chye Guan, 48, pleaded guilty to eight of 28 charges of outrage of modesty.

He has been diagnosed a paedophile by the Institute of Mental Health.

In all, 28 victims aged seven to 12 were molested by him in various parts of Singapore between Feb 1, 1999 and Oct 8 last year.

Tan, then a courier and part-time property agent, was arrested in November last year following a tip-off from a member of the public after viewing a CCTV image released through the media for information.

The court heard that he would pretend to look for directions or lie that he was looking for a friend's unit, and lure the victims to the staircase landing to molest them.

Deputy Public Prosecutor Agnes Chan told the court that he would violate the private parts of the victims under the pretext of asking them to feel his heartbeat or under the guise of fortune-telling by reading their palms.

She had urged District Judge Roy Neighbour to impose a substantial sentence with caning in view of the aggravating factors.

She said Tan was clearly a risk and danger to society and needed to be put off circulation for a long time to safeguard the safety and interests of the public.

Man gets 12 years' jail for molesting young girls

SINGAPORE: A 55-year-old man has been sentenced to 12 years' jail for sexual offences that included outraging the modesty of primary school girls.

Ng Ban Keong had pleaded guilty to three charges of outraging the modesty of primary school girls and one charge of sexual penetration on February 2012.

He would carry a thermometer, surgical gloves, or what seemed like a stethoscope to make it look like he was a doctor.

He committed sexual offences against pre-pubescent girls over a period of six years from 2004.

In mitigation, defence counsel Subhas Anandan pointed out that his client is a first offender who has a heart problem.

Mr Anandan said Ng, who is married with two children, had pleaded guilty at an early stage. He added that Ng was suffering from erectile dysfunction at the time of the offence. This led to Ng's sexual frustrations and caused him to do things he normally would not have done.

Mr Anandan also said his client is remorseful and asked the court to show compassion and sentence Ng to 10 years' imprisonment.

But the prosecution stood firmly on its ground, saying in its submissions that Ng preyed on young girls as they are vulnerable. As a deterrent, the prosecution asked the court to give Ng 12 years' jail.

For outraging the modesty of a 10-year-old and two 11-year-olds, Ng was sentenced to five years and three months' jail.

Ng was also convicted of forcing a nine-year-old to perform oral sex on him on October 26, 2009 at Sims Drive. For this, he received eight years' imprisonment.

The district judge has ordered three of the sentences to run concurrently, bringing Ng's total sentence to 12 years.

Earlier, Ng arrived at the Subordinate Court building with a mask and cap. He looked calm as he sat in the dock, listening attentively as the sentence was read out.

It is understood that the defence may appeal against the sentence.

Yes brother. But don't hope for this happening in Singapore unless it's started by ang mos. sinkie girls will queue up to be squeezed. If it's a sinkie male, he'll get a tight slap immediately
