A man who had a sexual obsession with leather wallets was back in court again. This time, Low Ji Qing, 48, not only faced theft charges but also charges for insulting modesty as well as dishonest misappropriation.

The court heard that he breached his three-year probation order by re-offending between March and November last year. He was first given probation in May 2011 on four theft charges.

When he re-offended in the later part of 2011, the court gave him a chance in January last year by ordering that he continue with his probation but during this time he committed six offences between March and November last year.

On Feb 1 this year, he admitted to three of them: theft of a Chanel wallet worth $1,000, taking two upskirt photographs of a 30-year-old woman and dishonestly misappropriating an adult EZ-Link card.

The court called for a progress report and adjourned sentencing.But while he was out on bail pending sentencing, he stole again by taking the wallets of two shoppers at IKEA on March 1. These two charges were among five that were taken into consideration.

Restaurant worker Low Ji Qing had been in and out of prison since 1986 because of his problem.

When he reoffended after a 10-year prison stint, he was given a chance and put on supervised probation instead of being sent back to prison.

But while on probation, he struck again.

Low, 48, was yesterday sentenced to 13 months in jail on charges of theft and outrage of modesty. He suffers from fetishism, and is sexually aroused by the smell of women’s leather wallets.

Defence lawyer Ravinderpal Singh told the court yesterday that Low had suffered from a relapse, which led to his re-offending.
