SINGAPORE: A previous teacher was charged on Friday ( June 14 ) with the sexual pampering of a 14- season- old lady, to whom he allegedly committed indecent functions in a class.  ,
The 39-year-old was charged with one count of sexual cleaning and three counts of child abuse under the Children and Young Persons Act.
A joke order was imposed on both the accused and the woman’s identity, along with the name of the class involved.  ,
The accused has been interdicted since October last year, according to the Ministry of Education ( MOE), and he is no longer a teacher there.  ,
The government will take punitive action against those who do not meet the standards, including departure from service, according to a MOE spokesperson.
The accused are said to have allegedly performed immoral acts against the girl between September 2022 and November 2022 by hugging her, kissing her cheeks and forehead, and touching her chest over her clothing at different places.  ,
Another two of the accused’s costs relate to his actions toward her on November 28, 2022, in a multi-story carpark in Jurong. He reportedly asked her to get into the rear seat with him and touched her bare knees before allegedly kissing her cheeks afterward.  ,
The accused supposedly hugged the lady for about two hours and kissed her cheeks and forehead near a school house in January of last year.
On July 11, the situation may be brought up for a second notice.  ,
If convicted of sexual cleaning, the man may remain jailed up to three years, or fined, or both.  ,
If convicted of committing indecent acts with a person under 16, he may be jailed up to five years, or fined up to S$ 10, 000 ( US$ 7, 390 ).  ,
