A 34-year-old nurse named Alipay Siwa Nagu had committed this act with a male visitor at Raffles Hospital in June. He confessed his crime in the court.

He told the victim that he wanted to disinfect her and on this pretext he applied soap on his hand and molested her.

After a hearing on Friday, the court sentenced Alipay to one year and two months in jail and two lashes. The hospital management had suspended him from his job after the incident.
