SINGAPORE : The man dubbed the "heartbeat molester" was charged in court on Thursday with molesting 27 more children.
This is in addition to the charge last week where he allegedly stroked an 11-year-old girl on her right arm and sliding his fingers beneath her shirt sleeve at a staircase landing in Hougang.
Martin Tan Chye Guan, 47, was accused of molesting the 27 girls between February 1, 1999 and October 8 this year.
The youngest victim was eight years old, while the oldest was 12.
Tan allegedly molested them in staircase landings across housing estates in Singapore.
In some instances, he purportedly grabbed the girls' hands and placed them on his private parts.
Three of his fanily members were present in court on Thursday.
A bail of S$50,000 was offered and Tan's passport was also ordered to be impounded.
If convicted, he can be jailed up to five years and fined or caned.
