A freelance musician showed a video of an obscene act to a 10-year-old girl and molested her while her two younger brothers watched.
On Friday, Harry Shawn Fernandez, 42, was found guilty of stripping and molesting the girl at a staircase landing in Woodlands.
For this, and a separate charge of molesting a 41-year-old woman, he was sentenced to 26 months in jail and four strokes of the cane.
The court heard that on Aug 12 last year, Fernandez followed the girl and her eight- and six-year-old brothers into a lift on their way home from school.
As they were walking, he called out to them from behind.
He showed the girl a video on a mobile phone, and when the siblings tried to leave, he dragged them to a staircase landing.
He removed the girl's clothes and re-enacted what was shown in the video on the girl while her brothers watched.
