Man jailed for flashing 15-year-old boy in hawker centre toilet

The boy entered the men’s toilet and was followed by Logeswaran, who wanted to expose himself to the minor.

At some point while the pair were alone in the washroom, Logeswaran flashed the boy and engaged in a sex act.

The boy felt uncomfortable and moved to a cubicle to finish urinating.

After this, the boy took two photos of Logeswaran.

Logeswaran tried to ask why he did this, but the boy did not answer him.

After leaving the washroom, the boy made a police report, providing one of the photographs he had taken to the police, before deleting both photos.

The police arrested Logeswaran that same night and he was later remanded.

The prosecution sought four weeks’ jail for Logeswaran, saying he had performed a sex act in the presence of the young victim.

“In relation to culpability, the accused would have known that the victim was a youth given that he was wearing his Boys’ Brigade uniform, and nevertheless targeted him as the victim of his sexual exposure,” said the prosecutor.

For intentionally exposing himself for sexual gratification, the offender could have been jailed for up to one year, fined, or both.
