A PLUMBER who molested his Indonesian maid in 2009 was sentenced to two years' jail and five strokes of the cane on Friday.
The 44-year-old man had admitted to moving his hand under the 24-year-old's clothing to outrage her modesty at his home in the east of Singapore on Sept 30, 2009.
The court heard that he told the maid - who had worked for him for about 1 1/2 years - to bring his dinner into his bedroom that evening.
When she did so, he locked the door and grabbed her hands. She tried to move away from him but he pushed her onto the floor and molested her.
The victim was struggling throughout but could not break free. She also tried to shout but the accused used his left hand to cover her mouth.
After about a minute, he stopped when someone knocked on the door. The victim took the opportunity to escape into the computer room and locked herself inside. Another similar charge was taken into consideration. He could have been jailed for up to two years or fined or caned or received any combined punishment.
