SINGAPORE - A jobless man who molested a woman in a lift was jailed for six months on Wednesday.
Yew Eng Kiat, 33, who has a long history of psychiatric impairment, pleaded guilty to using criminal force to outrage the 24-year-old's modesty at a Housing Board block in Geylang Bahru on Oct 9 last year.
The court heard that he followed her from a bus stop and got into the lift just as the door was closing. While it was going up, he turned around and touched her breasts.
She pushed him away and used her handbag to cover herself but Yew came towards her again. After a struggle she got out on the 10th floor.
