A POLICE officer who was convicted of molesting a 22-year-old auxiliary police constable was sentenced to 10 months' jail yesterday.
Ng Kok Peng, a senior staff sergeant with Jurong Police Division, was found guilty on Monday after a nine-day trial.
He faced charges of kissing the woman constable and squeezing her breast.
The incident occurred on Jan 18 last year on a staircase landing at Woodlands checkpoint, where Ng, 33, had been deployed for the last seven years. He was acting deputy team leader at the time of the offence.
Ng is out on $10,000 bail, pending his appeal against conviction and sentence.
District Judge Sarjit Singh told Ng that he should have known better than to flout the law since he was a police officer.
