Four men and one woman, aged between 30 and 72, will be charged in court on Oct. 15 for their suspected involvement in separate cases of molestation.

Amongst them, one 31-year-old woman is accused of molesting a 25-year-old woman at Duxton Hill on Jul. 11, 2025.

She will be charged with one count of outrage of modesty.

Police managed to establish the woman’s identity and arrested her through follow-up investigations and with the aid of images from CCTVs, the Singapore Police Force (SPF) said in a press release.

Four men accused of molestation

A 72-year-old man allegedly molested a 47-year-old woman, along Temple Street on Jan. 28, 2025.

Another man, 30, is accused of molesting a 24-year-old woman along Veerasamy Road on May 17, 2025.

In another case on Jul. 7, 2025, a 41-year-old man allegedly molested a 29-year-old woman along Bayfront Avenue.

On Aug. 4, 2025, a 47-year-old man allegedly molested a 33-year-old woman along Rochor Canal Road.

All four men were arrested at the scene by police officers who attended to the incidents.

They will each be charged with one count of outrage of modesty.

The offence of outrage of modesty carries a jail term of up to three years, a fine, caning, or any combination of such punishments.

Zero tolerance towards sexual offenders

SPF said that they have zero tolerance towards sexual offenders who "prey on unsuspecting victims and who threaten the personal safety of those in the community".

Offenders will be dealt with sternly in accordance with the law, they said.

They will continue to work closely with various stakeholders, such as public entertainment outlets, public transport operators, and the community, to prevent and deter molestation cases, they added.

SPF advised that victims of molestation should move away from the perpetrator and call the police immediately when it is safe to do so.

"While ensuring their personal safety, victims should try to note key details such as the perpetrator’s physical appearance, clothing, and the time and location of the incident," the police said.

Members of the public are also encouraged to remain vigilant, especially at crowded areas.

Those who witness molestation or are aware of someone being a victim of molestation, they are advised to report the matter to the police immediately.

"Such actions can deter the perpetrator and provide crucial witness testimony," SPF said.

"If the perpetrator flees, bystanders should note their description and direction of travel. Quick responses by both victims and bystanders can help the police swiftly identify and apprehend the perpetrator, while safeguarding others from further harm."
