Male teen accused of molesting women aged 49, 73, 79
SINGAPORE — A male teenager was charged at the State Courts on Thursday (26 December) with molesting three women aged 49, 73 and 79 on the same day last week.
Khamalhan Kavnor Subramaniam, 17, a Malaysian, allegedly committed the offences at HDB blocks near Bendemeer Road and Whampoa West, near Boon Keng MRT Station, last Monday (16 December).
According to his charges, Khamalhan allegedly swiped the vagina of a 79-year-old woman backwards to her buttocks while she was squatting along an eighth floor corridor at about 6pm.
Shortly after, he purportedly swiped the buttock of a 49-year-old woman inside the lift at another HDB block.
Then at about 10pm, Khamalhan allegedly grabbed the left breast of a 73-year-old woman at the seventh floor lift lobby of another HDB block.
The suspect will appear in court again on 7 January.
The maximum punishment for each molestation charge is up to two years’ jail, along with a fine and caning.
