SINGAPORE - A repeat offender who molested two young girls on their way to school was sentenced to seven years' preventive detention and one stroke of the cane on Thursday.
Odd job worker Lee Kia Kit, 48, had pleaded guilty to two charges of outrage of modesty and had a third charge of molesting a 13-year-old boy taken into consideration.
A district court heard that the first victim, a 13-year-old girl, was on her way to school at about 6.35am on March 3 when she overtook Lee along a pavement in Bedok.
Lee approached her and whispered to ask her name and tell her not to be afraid. He then kissed her but she walked away. He only stopped following her when he saw a passer-by looking at him.
