Former Singapore TV actor molest woman and fine $6000

Former television actor Mark Chow Yee Sze was on Thursday fined S$6,000 for molesting a woman on 10 January 2007 as reported in CNA and WTF News.

Chow was found guilty of the offence on 18 March. He had molested the 27-year-old former pub operations manager while she was asleep in her office in the wee hours of the morning. Chow, who is 30, had touched various parts of her body, including her chest, buttocks and left thigh.

The woman made a police report after viewing a CCTV recording of the incident. The footage of what Chow did in the office was also shown in court. Chow's defence was that he was merely trying to wake the woman up.

He said Chow had some mental problems as reported by a Changi General Hospital psychiatrist, and was still being treated. Chow has seven other outstanding charges against him and four of them were for molest. He had allegedly outraged another woman's modesty in 2006. It was believed Chow also committed three acts of criminal intimidation with toy guns at the Institute of Mental Heath on 26 November last year.
