SINGAPORE (AFP) - - A Singaporean man with a fetish for smelling womens' armpits has been sentenced to 14 years in jail and 18 strokes of the cane, legal officials said Friday.
A court employee confirmed the sentence, issued Thursday, against Mohammed Ismail Ariffin, 36.
Ariffin had a fixation for touching or smelling women, particularly their armpits, and was convicted of molesting 23 women, his lawyer Noor Mohamed Marican told AFP.
"He's got this problem. Poor chap," Noor said in a brief interview.
After reading an expert report that said Ariffin was likely to re-offend, Judge James Leong issued a preventive detention order, which means Ariffin will not be eligible for parole, The Straits Times said.
Ariffin, who is mildly retarded, would often attack his victims inside lifts, the report said.
It said Noor argued against a long sentence and in favour of rehabilitation and medical treatment.
But Leong said he found "precious little" in Ariffin's favour, The Straits Times reported

Poor dude . Very painful .. last time there was police talk held at my school showing photos of all those criminal being canned . It was bleeding and the wound was like some how split open ? >< I Agree , because he's mentally unfit he doesn't really know what he was doing thus should just send him into MI instead of jail and canning.

The sentence is too harsh! He is mentally retarded. What he need is medical treatment and not jail sentence and canning!
Even rapist don't get such harsh sentence.
His condition is untreatable. That's why the medical expert's opinion stated that he is likely to re-offend. Preventive detention is appropriate in this situation.
