SINGAPORE — As he was early for work, Tan Chen Chek decided to go for a walk in his neighbourhood before intentionally unzipping his pants to expose himself to a woman he had targeted, who was out walking her employer's dog.
On Wednesday , the 37-year-old Malaysian national pleaded guilty to a single charge of intentionally exposing his genitals and was sentenced to two weeks' jail.WHAT HAPPENED
Just as she was heading back to her residence, she saw Tan walking towards her again, holding a backpack over his groin area.DPP Menon said that in doing this, Tan had intended for the victim to see his genitals without her consent.Details of Tan's eventual arrest were not included in court documents.
He raised several points that were covered in the mitigation plea which included the claim that Tan had"no premeditation", and had been"nervous and undecided" before committing the act. Instead, he opted to continue"eyeing the victim" and had walked past her several times before deciding to commit the offence. This, in his view, cannot be seen as an act done on the"spur of the moment".
