S'pore man, 34, allegedly molests 2 girls in 1 day, including 17-year-old stepdaughter
The other victim is a 12-year-old schoolgirl.
A 34-year-old man is set to be charged on August 14 for allegedly molesting a 12-year-old girl and his 17-year-old stepdaughter on the same day, according to the police. The incidents took place on August 12, as reported by the police. At around 8:55 am, the man allegedly offered to take the 12-year-old victim to school. He then allegedly led her to a staircase near Sembawang Crescent and committed the act of molestation, according to the complaint received by the police.
Later, at approximately 12:50 pm, the man allegedly touched his 17-year-old stepdaughter at her residence near Yishun Street 22. Using images from police cameras, the police identified the man and arrested him on the same day. He faces two charges of outrage of modesty. One charge pertains to the outrage of modesty of a person below 14 years of age, which could result in a jail term of up to five years, a fine, caning, or a combination of these punishments.
The second charge involves aggravated outrage of modesty against a victim in a close relationship, potentially leading to a jail term between two and ten years, and caning. If convicted of the second charge, he may face enhanced punishment, given the alleged close relationship with the victim.
