Foreigner Who Molested Woman at MRT Station Caught 7 Years Later on Re-entry and Jailed
The Straits Times
|May 08, 2025
Seven years ago, a foreigner molested a woman at Serangoon MRT station and left Singapore without being apprehended.
But Zhang Yang, 34, was arrested upon re-entering the country in March.
The Chinese national was sentenced to three weeks' jail on May 7 after he admitted to one count of outrage of modesty. A second similar charge was taken into consideration for sentencing.
The offence happened on Aug 22, 2018. Zhang, a construction worker at the time, did not know the 21-year-old victim.
She was at Serangoon MRT station, intending to travel to Little India. As she walked towards one end of the platform while waiting for the train, Zhang walked towards her and brushed his arm against her shorts.
After they crossed paths, he turned and walked back towards her. She immediately moved to an area where more people were standing as she was afraid he would touch her again.
But Zhang followed closely behind her and molested her a second time.
