34 year old Indian National, Jayaraman Kannan, was sentenced to 4 months in jail for rubbing his crotch against the butt of a 19 year old girl in a crowded MRT cabin.
Kannan, who was working in Singapore as a bio-technologist, pleaded guilty to the charge of outraging the modesty of a woman with criminal force.
The offence occurred at about 9am on August 18 last year on the North South Line between Bukit Batok and Choa Chu Kang stations.
Kannan had unzipped his pants and exposed his penis and proceeded to rub it against the buttocks of the young girl.
When she noticed the contact, she turned around and slapped the man who quickly zipped up his pants again.
She alerted SMRT staff to the incident and Kannan was arrested at Bukit Gombak station after Police were called.
For the offence, he could have faced a maximum of 2 years jail, a fine or both.
