Jail for company director who was acquitted, then convicted of molesting subordinate

SINGAPORE, April 14 — A company director who molested his subordinate and sexually harassed her over a period of about five months was sentenced to a year’s jail yesterday.

Across three separate occasions in the office, he pulled the victim’s hand towards his groin, slid his hand along her back and up the side of her chest, and swiped his hand on her groin area twice and told her he was aroused. Deputy Public Prosecutor Joshua Phang said victims in such cases often refrain from lodging police reports for fear of losing their jobs, and this was what happened here.

Tan had also blamed the victim, by remarking when confronted that he was “only joking” and that it was the victim’s fault for dressing in a “sexy and seducing way”.
