SINGAPORE — Seeing his household's domestic worker taking a nap on the sofa, a man decided to molest her while she was in a defenceless position but was foiled when his victim woke up and caught him in the act of undoing her blouse.
In the State Courts on Monday , the 54-year-old man was sentenced to 13 months’ jail. He had pleaded guilty to using criminal force with intent to outrage modesty at an earlier hearing. The names of everyone involved cannot be published to protect the victim. Upon opening her eyes, the first thing she saw was the man on top of her, with both of his hands on her blouse.The prosecution said that the man later admitted during investigations that he had been tempted to touch the woman’s chest when he saw her sleeping on the sofa.
Shocked that he was caught in the act, the man quickly apologised to the victim and begged her for forgiveness. On hearing this, the man’s wife agreed to the victim’s request to end her employment. The wife is the victim's employer.
