S'pore female teacher, 35, committed sexual acts on female student, 15, on bus & in school toilet, jailed 9 years
The victim subsequently suffered from adjustment disorder and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.
A 35-year-old educator was sentenced to nine years in prison on October 5 for engaging in sexual acts with her 15-year-old female student. This occurred in various settings, including a school toilet, karaoke room, and a public bus. She admitted guilt to one count of sexual penetration of a minor and two counts of sexually exploiting a young person under 16, among other charges.
The prosecution highlighted that the accused had been the victim's source of support and guidance due to her troubled home life. The victim, a Secondary 3 student, had a history of family issues and mental health problems, prompting Child Protection Services to intervene. The pair began a "situationship" in April 2023, leading to three sexual encounters, including one in a school staff toilet.
The victim reported the assaults in January 2024, leading to a police investigation. The judge acknowledged the harm caused but emphasized the teacher's lapse in judgment and potential for redemption.
