SINGAPORE, July 3 — A 45-year-old man was sentenced to 10 years’ jail and 12 strokes of the cane for sexually assaulting a younger man who was in an intoxicated state, doing so several times while the latter was semi-conscious.
However, he was convicted of his charges in April after High Court judge Mavis Chionh found him to be a “disingenuous witness”. The pair got to know each other at Hero’s pub along Circular Road in July 2017. They exchanged phone numbers and later met on July 30 at a bar to celebrate Pe’s birthday. They then took a cab to Pe’s condominium, where the younger man fell asleep on the floor of Pe’s bedroom.
“The victim was intoxicated after a night of drinking and was incapable of consenting to the sexual acts performed on him by the accused,” she said.A National University Hospital psychiatrist had diagnosed the younger man with an anxiety disorder with post-traumatic stress symptoms, after examining him around August 2018.
