SINGAPORE: A 61-year-old man molested a 12-year-old boy before his swimming lesson at a public swimming complex and sexually assaulted him in the washroom after the lesson was over.

The victim, whose identity is protected by gag order, arrived at the swimming complex on Nov 10, 2018 and headed to the men's washroom to change. Lum was in the washroom when they entered. He removed his clothes and entered a cubicle, before calling to the victim to join him.After the victim joined him in the cubicle, Lum locked the door before sexually assaulting the boy.Later that night, the victim told his mother what had happened, and she took him to lodge a police report.

"Parents legitimately expect that they can let their older children use public toilets and showering facilities freely on their own," said the prosecutors."Such shared spaces are public yet private ... and must be kept safe for all persons, especially children, to use without fear of being sexually violated."
