SINGAPORE: A 58-year-old man was jailed for three years on Thursday for molesting a girl under his care.
The victim's mother met the offender through friends. As she could not speak English or help with her daughter's schoolwork, she sought help from the offender, paying him S$1,300 a month to take care of the girl's basic needs, including her education. Later that year, while waking the girl up in the morning, the offender touched her chest over her clothes.
The girl's mother took her back home the next day. She then told the offender's wife what her daughter had said, but the woman begged her not to report the matter to the police.The offender subsequently gave the victim and her mother an apology letter, which his wife helped to write. The victim attended multiple counselling sessions to help prevent self-harm and cope with suicidal thoughts after the offences came to light.
