A POLYTECHNIC student was sentenced to six months' jail and fined $600 on Monday for outrage of modesty and other offences. Jee Guang You, 24, was studying at Nanyang Polytechnic when he molested four victims at the library of the Ang Mo Kio Avenue 8 premises last November.
He admitted to five of nine charges - two each of outrage of modesty and insulting modesty, and one of theft of undergarments.
A Community Court heard that Jee was found to be suffering from paraphilia and fetishism by an Institute of Mental Health doctor.
His lawyer Steven Lam said his client's family would make sure that he received proper treatment and monitor him closely. He said Jee, a former N-level and ITE student, got into the polytechnic through sheer hard work.
The court backdated Jee's sentence to Dec 3 last year, which means he was released from prison on Monday.
He could have been jailed for up to two years, fined, caned or received any of the combination. The maximum for insulting modesty is one year and a fine; and for theft, three years and a fine.
