SINGAPORE — A man molested his mother-in-law multiple times in late 2023 after she moved into his house to help care for his newborn. The woman found out only after a month when she felt him sniffing her hair while she was sleeping. She was horrified to learn of his acts by checking CCTV footage in the house. On Oct 17, the 37-year-old man, who cannot be named to protect the identity of the victim, was sentenced to 12 months' jail and two strokes of the cane. He pleaded guilty to one count of outrage of modesty, one count of voyeurism, and two counts of making a gesture to insult another person's modesty. Five other charges were taken into consideration for his sentencing. The court heard that the 51-year-old victim moved into the man's house in August 2023 to help her daughter and son-in-law care for their newborn. The victim stayed there for about four months. During this time, she slept in the living room. Deputy Public Prosecutor Claire Poh said: «The victim trusted the (man) as he was her son-in-law and (a) member of the same household.» Read more
