(Milcah Anila, Intern Journalist) SINGAPORE – an adolescent was sentenced on Thursday (Sept 17) to 21 months’ probation for molesting a 51-year-old woman and a 16-year-old girl within minutes of every other.
Muhammad Ferdani Shauqie Rizal, now 19, must remain indoors from 10 pm and 6 am a day and perform 80 hours of community service.
Besides, he’s prohibited from using mobile devices with a camera function, unless assessed suitable to try so by parties like his officeholder.
He also has got to attend offense-specific cognitive behavioral treatment sessions.
His parents were bonded for $5,000 to make sure of his good behavior.
The teenager had earlier pleaded guilty to 2 molestation charges.
On March 16, the 16-year-old girl was at the foot of an overhead bridge near Block 124, Pasir Ris Street 11 at around 5.50 am when Ferdani approached her from behind. He grabbed the girl’s left buttock and ran away when she rotated.
The court heard that Ferdani, a Singaporean, also used his mobile to film himself committing the offense.
The girl called the police and told them about what had happened.
Ferdinand walked around the neighborhood before returning to the overhead bridge.
Shortly before 6 am, he spotted the 51-year-old victim who was clad in her jogging attire.
He ran up to the lady from behind and molested her.
When the lady rotated and screamed, Ferdani ran away within the other way.
Court documents didn’t state when the police arrested him.
For each count of molestation, an offender is often jailed for up to 2 years and fined or caned.
