While the man told the court he had merely “tapped” the woman’s buttock in an effort to “correct her posture”, the District Judge convicted the man of one charge of using criminal force intended to outrage the victim’s modesty.

Singapore — It may have looked like a classic case of “she said vs he said,” but the judge came down in favour of the woman, and found the man guilty of a molestation charge.It is also unknown whether the man is still employed by the carrier.

He will return for sentencing in March. He faces a jail term of up to two years, a fine, caning, or a combination of the three.Deputy Public Prosecutor Lee Wei Liang said that the incident occurred around half an hour before the plane was due to land in Manila after the captain had asked the cabin crew to get ready for landing.

At the trial, the man refuted her version of events, saying he did not touch nor slap her buttocks, but merely “tapped” her after seeing she leaned against a seat and that her buttocks were “protruding” into the aisle.
