<!-- end left side bar --> <!-- story content : start --> A SERIAL molester was put away for five years by a district court on Monday as he poses a risk to young girls. Wee Chin Yong, 41, was ordered to serve corrective training as he had committed a spate of similar offences since he was 13 years old.
Court documents indicate that the unemployed man would approach girls as young as nine and try to touch their nipples. He also took upskirt pictures of female commuters on trains and even of female devotees of a temple in Loyang. The court heard that Wee has an IQ of 59 and was mildly retarded.
The IQ level of a normal person is between 90 and 110. Wee pleaded guilty to three molest charges while another molest offence was taken into consideration by the judge in sentencing. Also considered was a charge for possessing a stolen cell phone and four counts of upskirt photography.
In asking for a stiff sentence for Wee, the prosecutor said that a psychiatric report from the Institute of Mental Health deemed Wee to be 'a potential menace to society, especially to young females.'
