Molester 'followed victim home'
By Elena Chong
A BUSINESSMAN who followed a woman home and molested her outside her unit was jailed for six months on Wednesday. Kuan Wei Tzuu, 34, pleaded guilty to stroking the 24-year-old waitress' upper body and grabbing her breast outside her flat in Toa Payoh on April 15.
The court heard that while the engineering graduate was at the Toa Payoh Bus Interchange, he saw the victim and decided to follow her. He took the same feeder bus as her and alighted at a bus stop along Braddell Road sometime past midnight.
She took the lift while he walked up the stairs. When she was opening the door to her flat, he rushed towards her and outraged her modesty. She screamed for help and he fled.
Kuan, who was arrested at his home 11 days later, could have been jailed for up to two years or fined or caned or received any combined punishment.
