SINGAPORE : A 23-year-old Nanyang Polytechnic student has been charged on Friday with molesting one of his schoolmates and stealing another woman's undergarments.
Jee Guang You allegedly lifted the 19-year-old girl's skirt up to her right thigh in the polytechnic's library at around 11:30am on November 24.
He is also believed to have stolen three bras worth a total S$15 from a flat at Block 361 Bukit Batok Street 31 on December 1.
Jee, who was wearing a grey T-shirt in court, looked calm as he appeared before the judge.
The slim, fair-complexioned student will be back in court on December 10.
If convicted of molest, he can be jailed up to two years, and fined or caned.
Comments: I personally think that this case should be handled well and not leniently as this is a serious case. If the sentence is light, many will think that it is actually okay to do such things as i will only be fined at most or some who are bolder may even do things that are more outrageous and causing more girls to be victims. Upon government looking at this seriously, it will serve as a good warning to other students and even outsiders the seriousness of molesting girls and the consequences they will be facing. Also for girls who are alone and are areas that are quieter should also learn from this case, by being more aware of their surroundings so they will be able to protect themselves better from such cases. Schools can also give talks on such cases so that students will be more educated. Thus, by taking such precaution measures, the molesting crime rate will decrease as people have the fear of being caught.
