Ten men in Singapore, ranging in age from 28 to 77, are set to be charged with the crime of 'outrage of modesty' on September 1. This includes two specific cases involving alleged sexual misconduct against individuals with intellectual disabilities. In one instance, a 76-year-old man allegedly molested a 16-year-old girl with severe intellectual disability at a sheltered walkway in Clementi Avenue 3 on October 25, 2025. He was arrested by police after bystanders intervened and reported the incident. Another case involves a 40-year-old man who allegedly assaulted a 21-year-old woman with intellectual disability at a nursery's garbage disposal room in Jalan Lekar on September 25, 2025. Police were alerted quickly and made an arrest within two hours. Both men face charges related to the sexual misconduct of vulnerable individuals, which carries harsher penalties under Singapore law, including longer jail terms, fines, or caning. Authorities praised the role of bystanders, friends, and security personnel in assisting victims and ensuring prompt police intervention.
