SINGAPORE - A peeping Tom was sentenced to five years' corrective training and one stroke of the cane on Tuesday for trying to molest a woman in a female toilet at a shopping centre.
Razali Abdullah, 26, had admitted to criminal trespass and pushing a 33-year-old Filipino woman into the toilet cubicle, covering her mouth, grabbing her wrist and punching her on the face.
The court heard that Razali was at The Verge at Serangoon Road on Feb 2 when he had a sexual urge.
He decided to prey on a victim in the female toilet by hiding in one of the cubicles of the fourth-level female toilet.
A short while later, he peeped at the victim who had gone into the next cubicle.
When he realised that there was no one else in the toilet, he came out and waited for the victim with the intention to molest her.
The woman screamed when she saw him standing outside. He covered her mouth and pushed her into the cubicle.
When she struggled and continued to scream, he grabbed her wrist and punched her in the face.
She continued to shout for help.
Razali then let go of her wrist and fled but was detained by the victim's friends who were at the food court near the toilet.
Razali, who has had similar convictions in 2003 and 2007, could have been sentenced up to 14 years' corrective training.
