A 15-year-old boy was placed on two years' probation for outraging and insulting the modesty of eight girls, aged from nine to 18 years old. He appeared naked before three of them, touched the buttocks of four victims and exposed himself to a 10-year-old.
All these offences occurred between April and June this year in the Bukit Batok area.
In the Juvenile Court on Thursday, District Judge Edgar Foo ordered the boy to stay in the Boys' Hostel for the first year of probation. After which, he will be allowed to return home but will be supervised by his parents and probation officer.
Other conditions included staying indoors from 9pm to 6am daily and being accompanied by an adult when he goes out. He would also serve 100 hours of community service and undergo psychiatric counselling. His parents had to sign a $2,000 bond each to guarantee their son's good behaviour during the probation period.
Court documents state that he first struck on April 19. An 18-year-old was taking the lift to her flat on the 18th floor at about 7.40pm when he walked in stark naked on the second floor. The teen dashed out and ran down the stairs. She then called her mother who called the police.
He struck again the next day. At 6.35pm, he again walked into the lift on the second floor in his birthday suit. The 16-year-old girl in the lift ignored him but as she got off on the fifth floor, he brushed his hand against her buttocks. The plucky teenager turned around. Blocking the entrance with her body and arms, she asked him what he was trying to do.
He managed to squeeze out and escaped down the stairs.
The flashing incident happened on June 17. By then, police had gathered closed-circuit television video footage of the incidents and were able to arrest the culprit on July 6.
