A 41-year-old man was charged with molesting a young boy and is now serving a 3-month sentence.
The boy, aged seven, said the incident occurred as he was on his way out of the building where he lived when he saw the worker lying down in the exit corridor. "I thought he was injured and needed help.
I went to him but he then grabbed my hand and pulled me towards him,” he said.
The boy immediately ran to tell his mother. ”Right after the incident was reported, we investigated the building where it happened. The CCTV clearly showed the accused touching the boy inappropriately, kissing and molesting him, following which the kid ran away," a police sergeant told the prosecutor.
"When nabbed, the worker told he worked for a contracting firm in the area and on that day, he went to the building during the break time. He was taking a nap on the floor when the boy came to him and woke him up. He admitted he molested him.”
The CCTV footage confirmed the boy’s story.
