SINGAPORE: A 47-year-old man broke into a woman's home and raped her after meeting her for the first time at a karaoke lounge. After raping her, Yap Pow Foo offered the woman up to S$50,000 and said he would marry her. Yap contested the charges at trial but the High Court found him guilty of both of them.
SINGAPORE: A 47-year-old man broke into a woman's home and raped her after meeting her for the first time at a karaoke lounge.
The victim was heavily intoxicated and was the first to be dropped off, but after ferrying the rest of the people home, Yap returned to her apartment. When they did not arrive immediately, she made another six calls. Justice Tan said the repeated calls were very significant as they showed the victim was in distress.Defence lawyers S S Dhillon and Suppiah Krishnamurthi argued that the victim was sober and that the sex was consensual. They claimed that the victim had let Yap into the unit.
"This alleged phobia is nothing but a mere excuse to distance himself from the incriminating evidence that he had voluntarily given to the police," he said. She was in a state of deep sleep at the time of the rape and was unconscious, so she could not have consented to sex with Yap, said the judge.
