THE first time he was caught sexually harassing his maid, Chua Chee San was apologetic.
He told the 24-year-old Indonesian that he was sorry for hugging her from behind and touching her inappropriately.
But that did not stop him from doing it again – this time pulling down his underwear and flashing at her.
Yesterday, the 42-year-old cabby was jailed for six months.
Chua, who has two children, first molested the maid in October 2010, just two weeks into her new job with the family, the prosecution told the court.
After entering her room in the Sengkang flat, he placed his hands on her upper arms while she was ironing clothes. She covered her chest with her hands as Chua hugged her from behind.
The maid told his wife, who confronted him. A few days later, he apologised.
In January last year, the maid was cleaning the toilet in the master bedroom when she saw Chua lowering his underwear and exposing himself to her. Again, she told his wife, who scolded him.
The offences came to light last September when the maid wrote about them on a feedback form that she sent to the Manpower Ministry. Staff called the police.
Chua pleaded guilty to outraging and insulting modesty. A similar charge was considered.

PS:
This case has nothing to do with his job.
It just so happened that his job is a cabby.
