A STOREMAN was jailed for three years on Friday for molesting three teenage girls between September and October 2010.
Toh Boon Cheong, 50, was found unsuitable for preventive detention as he was suffering from schizophrenia.
He had earlier admitted to molesting the three victims, aged 13 to 15, in Chua Chu Kang.
The first incident happened on Sept 3 when a 13-year-old girl was on the MRT train with her friend. Toh pressed himself against her hip area when the train was heading towards Yew Tee station. She subsequently reported the incident to her teacher.
On Sept 28, a 15-year-old girl was walking along the walkway with her two classmates at Choa Chu Kang MRT station when Toh knocked into her and brushed against her. Shocked, she stared at Toh who said sorry and walked off quickly. Toh similarly molested a 15-year-old girl along another Chua Chu Kang Loop walkway on Oct 7.
A fourth charge was taken into consideration. Toh has been convicted four times for similar offences, and was last given seven years' corrective training in 2003. He could have been jailed for up to two years on each charge.
