A former secondary school physical education teacher in Singapore faced a staggering 16-year prison sentence and 12 lashes after pleading guilty to sexually exploiting his 14-year-old student. The offence, which involved sexual penetration in hotel rooms and during a school camp, was committed over a period of three months in 2022 and 2023.
The 45-year-old offender had previously worked in education for 18 years before engaging in this predatory behaviour. The court, presided over by Judge Kwek Mean Luck, agreed that the man's actions were calculated and premeditated. The victim, now 18, struggled to break free from the offender's increasingly possessive and jealous behaviour, eventually ending the relationship in February 2023 when her friends alerted school authorities.
The court gag order, designed to protect the victim's identity, prohibits any mention of the offender's name or any details that could lead to her identification.
