Former Singapore police officer jailed for disguising as woman to molest teen boy

An ex-police officer who disguised himself as a woman to sexually prey on teenage boys in Singapore was sentenced on Friday to three years’ jail and four strokes of the cane.While dressed in a dress and headscarf, Sharizal Shafi’ee, 40, approached three boys, asking them to help adjust his bra.The first two declined. The third agreed, believing Sharizal was genuinely a woman in need of assistance, but was later molested by him.Sharizal was a police officer at the time of the offences but has since lost his job.He earlier pleaded guilty to five charges, all involving sexual offences against three teen boys, then aged 15 years old. These are for procuring the commission of obscene acts, molesting and producing child abuse material by recording two of the teens in sexual acts.Another 10 charges of a similar nature were taken into consideration for sentencing. These include one amalgamated charge of voyeurism, as he had recorded videos of 32 men engaged in sexual acts for around six months.
