Elipe looked inside and pretended to want to “disinfect” the victim. He placed soap in his hand and proceeded to molest the victim.
The act shocked the victim, who froze in place. He later returned to his grandfather’s bedside after the molestation.
Defendant suspended from nursing after incident reported
On 21 June, the authorities received a report of the case and arrested Elipe two days later.
Raffles Hospital also suspended Elipe from his nursing duties shortly afterwards.
In court on 24 Oct, Elipe pleaded guilty to committing molestation. His actions had reportedly caused the victim to suffer flashbacks of the incident.
Ultimately, the judge sentenced him to one year and two months in jail, alongside two strokes of the cane.
