  SINGAPORE: A 55-year-old man has been sentenced to 12 years' jail for sexual offences that included outraging the modesty of primary school girls.

  Ng Ban Keong had pleaded guilty to three charges of outraging the modesty of primary school girls and one charge of sexual penetration on February 2012.

  He would carry a thermometer, surgical gloves, or what seemed like a stethoscope to make it look like he was a doctor.
  
  He committed sexual offences against pre-pubescent girls over a period of six years from 2004.
  
  In mitigation, defence counsel Subhas Anandan pointed out that his client is a first offender who has a heart problem.
  
  Mr Anandan said Ng, who is married with two children, had pleaded guilty at an early stage. He added that Ng was suffering from erectile dysfunction at the time of the offence. This led to Ng's sexual frustrations and caused him to do things he normally would not have done.
  
  Mr Anandan also said his client is remorseful and asked the court to show compassion and sentence Ng to 10 years' imprisonment.
  
  But the prosecution stood firmly on its ground, saying in its submissions that Ng preyed on young girls as they are vulnerable. As a deterrent, the prosecution asked the court to give Ng 12 years' jail.
  
  For outraging the modesty of a 10-year-old and two 11-year-olds, Ng was sentenced to five years and three months' jail.
  
  Ng was also convicted of forcing a nine-year-old to perform oral sex on him on October 26, 2009 at Sims Drive. For this, he received eight years' imprisonment.
  
  The district judge has ordered three of the sentences to run concurrently, bringing Ng's total sentence to 12 years.
  
  Earlier, Ng arrived at the Subordinate Court building with a mask and cap. He looked calm as he sat in the dock, listening attentively as the sentence was read out. Meanwhile, some of his supporters were seen teary-eyed as the sentence was read in court.
  
  It is understood that the defence may appeal against the sentence.

  Too bad he is not a FT, if not he might get away with a fine. http://news.xin.msn.com/en/singapore/article.aspx?cp-documentid=4668935 SINGAPORE: Two men were dealt with in a district court on Friday for molesting girls in separate incidents. The first offender is 32—year—old Colombian, Jorge Luis Lujan Garcia. He was fined S$10,000 for outraging the modesty of an 11—year—old primary school student. He could have been jailed up to two years, and fined or caned for the offence. The stocky South American, who works as an initiative manager in Singapore, had entered a lift with the girl at a condominium in the eastern part of Singapore at around 4pm on April 17, last year. He then used his right hand to touch her buttocks for about two seconds. Garcia pleaded guilty to the offence on Friday. Deputy Public Prosecutor Fu Qijing told the court that the student kept quiet throughout her ordeal as she did not know how to respond to the situation. She later told her mother about it when she reached home and the police were notified. Defence counsel Gary Leonard Low said Garcia was remorseful and urged the judge to impose a stiff fine on his client instead of sending him to jail. Mr Low also said that Garcia did not touch the girl’s private parts. However, DPP Fu stressed that the girl was a minor and she could not escape from Garcia as the offence took place within the confines of a lift. In the other incident, a 50—year—old recalcitrant molester was sentenced to three years’ jail for outraging the modesty of three teenage girls. Toh Boon Cheong, who had earlier been convicted of six other molest charges between 1994 and 2003, committed his latest string of offences between September and October, last year. He originally faced five molest charges but two of them were taken into consideration. In one of the cases, the storeman molested a 13—year—old student on a south—bound train travelling from Choa Chu Kang to Yew Tee MRT station. The other two teenagers were molested at Choa Chu Kang Loop. — CNA/fa
