SINGAPORE - A private tuition teacher who molested his student in 2011 was on Thursday sentenced to 18 months in prison.
He pleaded guilty to two of three offences committed on the 11-year-old girl during weekly mathematics tuition sessions.
The court heard that these sessions had been held since June 2010 at a maisonette along Potong Pasir Ave 1 that belonged to the victim's grandmother. Lessons would take place on the first floor, while the girl's relatives would usually be upstairs.
In one instance on July 6, 2011, the man, now 58, reached under the girl's clothes while she was resting her head on the table, and touched her breast.
