A man who allegedly molested a woman at a Serangoon shopping mall is also accused of being involved in at least five other similar cases.<\/p>\n

Sharil Hassan, 49, was hauled to court on Aug 8 to receive one charge of outrage of modesty.<\/p>\n

He will be kept in remand for further investigations and will return to court on Aug 22.<\/p>\n

The police said they had arrested the 49-year-old man on Aug 6, 15 hours after receiving a report that he had allegedly molested a woman at Nex shopping mall.<\/p>\n

Sharil was on the escalator, travelling up from the basement of the shopping mall, when he purportedly touched the buttocks of a woman.<\/p>\n

He was identified and traced by the police through CCTV footage.<\/p>\n

Court documents showed that Sharil had committed the alleged offence while under a remission order. There were no details on his former offence or offences.<\/p>\n

Preliminary investigations show that he could be involved in at least five other similar cases.<\/p>\n

If found guilty of outrage of modesty, he can be jailed for up to three years, fined or caned, or receive any combination of these punishments.<\/p>\n

In an Aug 7 statement, the police said they will continue to work closely with stakeholders, including public entertainment outlets and public transport operators, to prevent and deter such cases.<\/p>\n

“The police have zero tolerance towards sexual offenders who threaten the personal safety of the community. Offenders will be dealt with sternly in accordance with the law,” they said.<\/p>\n

They also urged those who witness cases of outrage of modesty to report the matter immediately, through the police hotline on 1800-255-0000 or online at www.police.gov.sg\/i-witness<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
