SINGAPORE – A male nurse molested his female understudy in a hospital, groping and holding her down as she tried to stop him.
On May 15, the 38-year-old man was sentenced to 10 months’ jail and two strokes of the cane after pleading guilty to one count of molestation.
Another similar charge was taken into consideration for sentencing.
A gag order protecting the victim prevents the offender, the victim and the hospital from being identified.
The victim was 21 years old and had just started working at the hospital at the time. The man was assigned as her buddy to show her the ropes.
In the early hours of Jan 13, 2025, the victim, on a break from her night shift, had napped in a massage chair in one of the rooms.
She woke up at around 2.25am and the man entered the room. He closed the door behind him and asked her if she had eaten.
