Iranian man, 34, raped flatmate in S'pore, had repeatedly asked her to be in relationship with him weeks after moving in
He barged in naked into her room and brought her to the master bedroom against her will.
In Singapore, Keivan Motallebi, a 34-year-old Iranian national, was sentenced to 10 years in prison and six strokes of the cane for raping his flatmate in her own home. The incident took place weeks after Motallebi moved in to share a rental flat with the victim and other housemates. Despite the victim rejecting his repeated advances, Motallebi forced himself on her in the bedroom she had considered her sanctuary for over a year.
The victim, a 26-year-old foreigner, was forced to have sexual intercourse with Motallebi in the master bedroom against her will, despite struggling and repeatedly saying no. The judge noted that a sexual assault committed in a victim's own home is considered more serious due to the heightened sense of security one expects in their own home.
