According to local media such as the Straits Times, a Singapore court sentenced a 26-year-old man A, who was caught at the scene after cutting off a part of a woman's hair in a bus seat, to two months and two weeks in prison. Separately, the judge said similar crimes committed against two other women were also reflected in the sentencing.
According to the prosecution's data, A took out a pair of scissors from his bag and cut some of his hair when a long-haired woman sat in the front seat while traveling on a bus in August.
The victim felt strange and questioned A, but he remained silent.
Later, A was arrested at the scene as a woman reported to the police through a bus driver.
The dispatched police found five scissors and several plastic bags containing hair in his bag.
He confessed "When I saw a woman with long hair, I felt sexual excitement, and I got sexual satisfaction by cutting and smelling hair."
Under Singapore law, if convicted of 'using physical force against a woman for sexual purposes', he could face up to three years in prison, a fine, and a penalty.
In response to the criticism that "a light sentence", the court explained that "a warning to him and a measure to prevent recidivism".
