S'pore man, 65, fell in love with domestic worker, breaks into her room & assaults her after she proposes breaking up to return to home country
According to the defendant, the victim had accepted his marriage proposal.
A 65-year-old man from Singapore, Cai Guopei, pleaded guilty to assaulting his domestic worker after falling in love with her. The assault occurred in March 2026, following her proposal to break up as she needed to return to her home country after her contract ended. According to prosecutors, Cai had developed romantic feelings for the victim, but she planned to end the relationship once her contract was up.
On March 21, Cai scaled the wall of the house and entered her bedroom around 10pm. After the assault, the victim suffered bruises on her scalp during a hospital examination. Cai's lawyer argued that his client had no criminal record, had cooperated with the investigation, and returned all items to the victim. Cai's lawyer claimed that he committed the crime to save the relationship, and the case was adjourned to October 1 for sentencing. Cai is currently out on bail for S$20,000.
