Optometrist jailed for sexual abuse offences against children

An optometrist who committed a series of sexual abuse offences against two children as young as four has been jailed for three years.

The jury at Glasgow Sheriff Court heard that Boo Seng Khoo preyed on two girls over a period that spanned eight years between 2003 and 2011. The case was sent to trial after he denied three charges against him.

According to a report in the Greenock Telegraph, Seng Khoo first targeted the four-year-old in a “lewd and libidinous” way in June 2003. Between December 2010 and June 2011, he also sexually abused her a number of times after she had turned 11.
