Former swimming coach gets jail and caning for molesting 10-year-old student repeatedly
Four other students gave statements to the police, with three of them observing how Quek Yeong Kang tickled students during lessons, which they found unusual.
Quek Yeong Kang, a 49-year-old former swimming coach with 20 years of experience, has been sentenced to two years in jail and three canings for molesting a 10-year-old student on three separate occasions. The victim, who was 12 at the time, reported the incidents to police after observing Quek tickling students during lessons. Quek, who denied the allegations, claimed that the victim fabricated the claims to change coaches.
However, Deputy Principal District Judge Luke Tan rejected Quek's claims and convicted him of the three charges. Four other students also gave statements, confirming that Quek had tickled them during lessons.
