Chinese national Hu Guisheng, 39, was jailed for six days upon pleading guilty on Wednesday to one charge of outrage of modesty in the March 8 incident.

The social visit pass holder was in a lift at Marina Bay Sands (MBS) – an extravagant tourist attraction – with his wife and friends when he targeted the woman.

Hu’s group was drinking at club Ce La Vi at MBS, where he was staying. The guests left the venue at 1.34am, with surveillance footage showing Hu holding his wife’s hand as they entered the lift with others.

It is not known if he was intoxicated at the time. The victim was not identified due to a gag order, according to local media reports.

Hu waited for others to exit the lift, with the victim holding the door, before he turned to ogle her buttocks and molested her as he left.
