A cabby was on Tuesday cleared of two charges of molesting an 18-year-old girl after compounding the offences.
Mr Leow Hock Soon, 62, paid $1,200 to settle the matter.
He was originally charged with causing wrongful restraint to the girl when outraging her modesty twice in a cab along Woodlands Industrial Park E9 on the morning of Sept 27, 2010.
The charges were amended to simple molestation by the prosecution.
Mr Leow was given a discharge amounting to an acquittal on both charges.
The victim, who was in court on Tuesday, confirmed that she has received the money.
The maximum penalty for molestation is two years' jail, fine and caning.

PS:
Wonder if this cabby got mental illness?
Or else why do it in the morning when more people moving around?
What really made the cabby do it?
