SINGAPORE. Oct 5 — A 72-year-old Singaporean man was yesterday convicted after claiming trial for molesting a 16-year-old girl.
Delivering her brief remarks, District Judge Carol Ling noted that since there was no other evidence to corroborate the teenager’s accusation, her account had to be unusually convincing to prove her case beyond reasonable doubt. For example, the teenager recalled that Nahrawi had squeezed her right breast. However, she testified that she could not recall which hand Nahrawi had used to do so, which the defence had argued as affecting her credibility.
