A BANGLADESHI construction worker was sentenced to nine months' jail and three strokes of the cane on Monday for molesting a Filipino maid.
Yeanus Abdus Samed Majhi, 35, admitted to kissing the 25-year-old domestic worker on the left shoulder and squeezing her right breast at Nanyang Crescent on Aug 26 last year.
The court heard that Yeanus was doing painting work with others at the premises when the maid told him to do some touching up in the master bedroom.
After he was done, the maid climbed up a ladder to check the ceiling.
As she was coming down, she realised that the master bedroom door was closed and Yeanus standing beside the ladder.
When she tried to leave, he blocked her path and tried to hug her.
He ignored her order to stop and pushed her onto the bed, lay on top of her and tried to kiss her.
She struggled and the kiss landed on her left shoulder. She tried to push him but he was too strong for her. He also squeezed her breast.
She managed to free herself and ran out of the bedroom after saying that she would call the police and her boss.
Yeanus could have been jailed for up to two years or fined or caned or received any of the combined punishments.
