A MADANG man was sentenced to 12 months in prison by the Lae District Court yesterday for assaulting a woman by grabbing her body and touching her breasts.
Magistrate Samuel Lavutul convicted Daniel Oama, 30, of Keiveng village in Rai Coast, Madang, after he pleaded guilty.
Police alleged that Oama committed the offence on Thursday, at the Antsa market, Mutzing station in Markham, Morobe.
Oama, who was allegedly drunk at the time, is from the same village as the complainant’s husband.
He allegedly approached her from behind while she was talking with an in-law and grabbed her and held onto her, squeezing her body.
He allegedly also fondled her breasts and told her that he would marry her.
The complainant pushed Oama away and demanded to know why he had behaved that way.
The court also noted that the complainant felt offended as it happened in public and went straight to her husband and told him what the accused had done.
The matter was reported to police.
