A serial 25-year-old molester was jailed for 9 months and one stroke of the cane on Thursday (Jan 21) for molesting his girlfriend’s mum, who had earlier looked after the couple’s baby throughout the night. The man could not be named due to a court gag order to protect the 38-year-old victim’s identity. He pleaded guilty to one count of molestation.
This was not his first sexual offense. Back in 2013, he was placed on 21 months probation for sexual penetration of a minor. He was about 18 years old at the time. The older woman was sleeping her bedroom at around 8am as she had been looking after his child. Around 11.30am, the man went into the bedroom to get a pillow and saw his girlfriend’s mother asleep there with one of her breasts exposed.
He then proceeded to molest the older woman while she was asleep and squeezed her breast over her T-shirt a few times, while calling “mother” a few times. He also touched her mouth.
The woman woke up to see the man with his pants down and his private parts exposed. The woman then reported the incident to the police an hour later and he was then subsequently arrested.
For molestation, the man could have been jailed for up to two years, fined, caned, or any combination of the three.
