A 51-year-old senior cabin crew member was sentenced to 3 weeks imprisonment on 20 June after pleading guilty to molesting a 31-year-old air stewardess on board a flight from Singapore to the Netherlands in November 2018.
This is after he was initially jailed 5 weeks back in March for molesting another 24-year-old air stewardess in May 2019 while on a flight from Singapore to Manila.
The man was the highest-ranking cabin crew member at the time as the in-flight manager during the flight back in 2018.
The victim’s husband was one of the pilots on the flight, which the man reported to.
The victim was in the galley area of the business class cabin on the plane, trying to retrieve a pair of shoes when the man came over to chat with her and her husband.
Later when she walked past him, he slapped her backside.
The victim was in shock and disbelief and didn’t confront him, and she also didn’t file a police report because the man had a young daughter and she didn’t want to cause him to lose his job.
Later, during another flight in 2019, the man molested yet another victim while she was speaking to a passenger in the business class cabin, and the victim then reported the incident to the flight captain.
The captain then called for a meeting in the cockpit and the man then confessed to molesting the second victim, swearing that it was his first time doing it.
She then reported the man to the police when she returned to Singapore.
The first victim then found out that the molester was caught molesting someone else and she too filed a police report against him.
