SINGAPORE - A former cleaner was jailed for 18 weeks on Tuesday for sending lewd and insulting text messages to several real estate agents.
Sim Eng Peng had seen the victims' photographs and mobile numbers in the property section of newspapers before sending them the SMSes.
The 41-year-old unemployed man pleaded guilty to six of 40 charges of insulting the modesty of women. A total of 11 women, aged 23 to 46, was involved.
Most of the offences occurred between 2010 and 2011. While on bail, he committed six similar charges against three women between June and August last year.
