SINGAPORE – A man, who was sentenced to jail and caning in 1999 for molesting a seven-year-old girl, went back to his old ways and outraged the modesty of a family friend’s young daughter about five years later.
On separate occasions between 2004 and 2008, he committed sexual offences against the girl and her two sisters when they attended a playhouse which his wife operated.
A district court heard that the three girls were then between six and 10 years old.
On Tuesday (March 3), the 65-year-old man, who has been diagnosed with “paedophilia disorder”, pleaded guilty to two molestation charges and one count of committing an indecent act on a child.
District Judge Christopher Goh then sentenced him to 26 months and eight weeks’ jail.
Due to a gag order, the man cannot be named to protect the girls’ identities.
Referring to the earlier offences, Deputy Public Prosecutor Marshall Lim said the man was working as a private tutor in 1996 when he molested one of his pupils, a seven-year-old girl, in his home.
He was sentenced to 10 months’ jail and three strokes of the cane in 1999.
