SINGAPORE: A 56-year-old cleaner was mopping the floor in a hospital ward when he saw a female patient lying in bed with a partially unbuttoned pyjama top.
Shocked, the nurse shouted:"What are you doing!" The man removed his hand without saying anything, then left the ward to continue his work.The nurse then asked the victim if the man had touched her breast, and the victim blinked three times. She understood this to mean"yes" as it was their method of communication.The cleaner admitted in a police statement to touching the victim's breast.
The offender is liable to receive an enhanced penalty of up to four years' jail for committing the offence against a vulnerable person, as well as a fine.Deputy Public Prosecutor Ng Jun Chong asked for between 24 and 28 months' jail, with an additional two months in lieu of any caning. While it was not possible to obtain a victim impact statement, Mr Ng argued that the victim must have experienced distress as she was molested in the hospital where she lived and had a right to feel safe and secure.
If the molester is female and a patient is male guess its cool then right?
