SINGAPORE: A former teacher was charged in court on Thursday (Apr 2) with multiple charges over sexual acts with an underage student.
The 34-year-old Singaporean was handed nine charges in total – six of committing indecent acts with a young person and three charges of sexual penetration of a minor.
A gag order imposed by the court prevents the publication of anything that might identify the accused and the victim.
Court records indicate that the pair have a “former teacher and student relationship”.
According to charge sheets, the alleged offences took place between February and December in 2023.
The man is accused of kissing and hugging a girl below 16 years of age in public at City Square Mall around Feb 16, 2023. The girl’s exact age was redacted due to the gag order.
Sometime between March and June in 2023, the man allegedly engaged in intimate acts with the girl at a toilet for the handicapped in Paya Lebar.
