Singaporean man fined for molesting colleague in mortuary

A TECHNICAL officer at the mortuary was fined $ 4,000 on Wednesday for molesting a colleague in their office.

The 55-year-old man pleaded guilty to pressing her buttocks with his hand in the afternoon of Feb 16 while she was photocopying death certificates.

A district court heard that the 27-year-old woman had quickly moved away but 30 minutes later, he went up to her again and rubbed her back with his hand before tapping her buttocks.

Police investigations revealed that he had also rubbed the back of another colleague with his hand in April last year.

The offender and the women work for the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) and the court ordered that no details that could lead to the identification of the victims are published.

At the hearing on Wednesday, the married man apologised to the two women. He also paid the younger woman compensation of $ 1,000 while the other victim received $ 500.
