A 26-year-old Indian national who was working as a painter in Singapore was sentenced to nine months in prison on Wednesday for molesting a pregnant woman after following her into the lift.
Kota Durga Prasad molested the three-month pregnant woman who was visiting her husband in Singapore on the night of September 5 last year.
Kota thought that the victim “looked pretty” and decided to follow her after seeing her crossing a traffic junction in the Jurong West residential area.
Kota then hugged the victim in the lift and asked for her phone number. But the victim told him that she was married and was pregnant as well. Kota then proceeded to stroke her belly before leaving the escalator.
