  "account": "A 28-year-old Singaporean, Raden Zulhusni Zulkifri, faces two charges of sexual assault and criminal trespass in connection with the alleged gang rape of a 16-year-old girl at Admiralty Park toilet. The victim testified against him during the trial, which lasted five hours on October 27, 2026. However, Al Amin bin Selamat, one of the other men involved, initially denied Raden's involvement before breaking down and admitting to his participation in the acts. Al Amin was sentenced to 12 years and six months in prison with 12 strokes of the cane, while another accused, Muhammad Isnalli David, received a sentence of 10 years and six months. The trial began on August 20, 2026, with the victim as the prosecution's first witness. During cross-examination, Al Amin contradicted his earlier statements, revealing that he and Raden entered the toilet to help the victim but claimed Raden did not enter the cubicle due to his unwillingness to engage in sexual intercourse. Al Amin later admitted to the prosecution that he was induced to plead guilty by the Deputy Public Prosecutor, who suggested accepting all the facts of the agreed statement in exchange for plea bargaining.",
  "summary": "He faces a charge of sexual assault by penetration and another charge for criminal trespass.",
