The New Zealander was on a holiday in Singapore when he did the crime. Mr Jeffrey Bruce Shearer, a sheep farmer, was jailed 6 months for outraging of woman’s modesty.
The incident took place at a coffee shop in Jurong West, where he was drinking with his father-in-law. It was understood that they shared 2 bottles from the beer promoter at 9:30pm, and ordered another bottle 30 minutes later.
Mr Shearer was told that the beer costs $6. He then gave her $6.10 and said that 10 cents was a tip from him. She accepted and thanked him for the gesture. They then proceed to communicate in English, which the beer promoter could not understand.
Mr Shearer then started go give her a perverted smile and grabbed her right breast. She pushed him away. When she confronted him, he simply laughed it off and offered her 50 cents, which she rejected. The beer promoter then proceeds on telling the other diners about this incident and she was advised to call her husband.
Her husband proceeded to call the police after this incident.
Mr Shearer’s lawyer pleaded for a big fine or jail of not more than 2 months. The court ordered for 6 months jail instead.
For this action, Mr Shearer could have been jailed for 2 years, fined or caned.
