SINGAPORE – While on a Scoot flight from Okinawa to Singapore, an Indonesian man molested a 17-year-old girl several times.
For his actions, Ariel Lhudfiyan Muarifin, 20, was sentenced to 15 months’ jail and three strokes of the cane on June 3, after he pleaded guilty to one charge of molestation.
The court heard that the man, who was employed as a construction worker in Okinawa, was on a flight to Singapore on April 15. He had intended to return to Indonesia via Singapore.
The victim, who lives in Thailand, was on the same flight as she was returning home via Singapore. She was seated next to Ariel on the aircraft.
During the flight, the victim’s left arm and leg was in contact with Ariel’s body, which gave him the urge to touch her. While she was asleep, Ariel touched her thigh, abdomen and hip. He also touched her breast.
