A man was given a 15-month jail term on Friday ( Mar 14 ) for molesting a male patient while taking his blood pressure.  ,

Danisha approached the target at between 2.30 and 3o’clock, according to the prosecutors, who was represented by Deputy Public Prosecutor Ethan Lee.

Danisha asked the victim if they felt any problems after placing a blood pressure circle around the victim’s straight arm and turning the blood pressure device. He then asked the victim three times to press the victim’s private parts.  ,

Danisha could have been sentenced to three years in prison, fined, caned, or punished with any mixture of the punishments for molesting.
