SINGAPORE: A girl who was allegedly molested by a Grab driver when she was 10 years old testified against him in court on Wednesday .

The girl is the older of the two alleged victims. Lom is alleged to have touched the groin area of the younger girl - then aged seven - over her dress twice within 10 minutes while they were in his car at Tampines Mall on Jun 14, 2017. The court also heard that at those times, the small dog, a maltipoo, was seated in her lap, facing the window on her left, and did not respond to Lom’s hand getting near the girl’s knee.When asked by Lom’s lawyer Riko Isaac how she felt when she was first touched, she answered: “Scared and awkward.”

When asked why she added herself despite being scared, she said:"I was scared he would do something else." The girl’s friend’s mother made a complaint to Grab after finding out what happened, and also informed the girl’s mother. Grab advised that a police report should be made, the court heard.
