All the alleged offences took place in a Jurong West flat.

Bail of $15,000 was set.

Saharom will appear in court on next Friday.

If convicted, he faces a jail term of up to three years or fine or caning of any two such punishments for each charge of outraging of modesty.

The maximum penalty for insulting modesty is a jail term of up to one year or fine or both.
