And Finally...

Lying that he was a volunteer at a student-care centre and that he needed to complete a game challenge to get back his slippers, Tan Boon Hwee convinced a woman to let him draw smiley faces on her toes.

After drawing on her toes, he touched her feet so that he could adjust their positioning for picture-taking.

For this, Tan, 35, was sentenced on Thursday (Aug 15) to eight months' jail for outrage of modesty.

On top of that, there was another penalty of 36 days' jail because he committed the offence while on a remission order, which is typically issued to prisoners who show good conduct and are then allowed to be released after serving two-thirds of their sentence.

Tan, who has a sexual interest in feet, was convicted before for similar offences from 2019.

He has chronic adjustment disorder with depressed mood and paraphilic disorder (related to atypical sexual interests), but the latest assessment by the Institute of Mental Health, dated May 3 this year, found that these disorders had no contributory link to his offending.

In April 2022, TODAY reported that Tan was sentenced to two weeks and five days' jail after being convicted of two charges of outrage of modesty.

In one of these offences, he had claimed to be a member of a non-existent charity called the "Barefoot Walking Society" when he molested a woman by caressing the soles of her feet. They had met through dating application Tinder.

In 2019, he was fined S$8,000 for five molestation offences.
