A business degree student who molested a woman when she fell asleep in his car was sentenced to six months’ jail and three strokes of the cane yesterday.
Jeff Tan Jack Foo, 32, admitted to groping the 24-year-old’s breast twice at a carpark.
Assistant Public Prosecutor Ashraf Hassan said the victim met her 24-year-old female friend and Tan at St James Powerhouse, where all three had a few drinks. They decided to leave the club at about 2.30am.
Tan went to get his car and picked up the two women. The friend sat in front while the victim sat behind and fell asleep.
While driving, the friend told Tan to take the victim home first, but he declined.
He said he had been drinking, and was afraid there might be a police roadblock along the way.
They then decided to drive to the Marina Barrage to allow Tan to sober up before taking them home.
Mr Ashraf said the friend left to go to the toilet in the Barrage carpark.
Shortly after, the victim was awoken as she felt Tan’s hand reaching slowly underneath her bra from the top opening.
He began groping her. She did not know how to react, as she was afraid that he might turn violent if she put up a struggle.
The woman stirred, and felt him withdraw his hand. Moments later, she felt him groping her again.
When the friend returned to the car, she noted that the victim had been crying.
