SINGAPORE: A 62-year-old gardener was fined $3,000 on Wednesday for molesting a woman at a bus stop outside Peace Centre in Sophia Road.
Low Hock Leng admitted that he brushed the upper inner thigh of the 32-year-old woman at about 1pm on March 3 this year.
The court heard that Low had earlier brushed against her left shoulder when he walked past her at the bus stop, which was not crowded.
The woman thought it was accidental and did not confront him.
Five minutes later, as she was about to board a bus, Low walked towards her and brushed against her upper inner thigh with his right hand.
The victim shouted at him, grabbed his bag when he tried to flee and detained him with the help of a passer-by.
For using criminal force with the intention to outrage modesty, Low could have been jailed up to two years, fined and caned.
