Unique Law - Rape Becomes Molest

[globalcookie]

Rape and molestation, which is more difficult to prove?

Rape, there are penetration involved, there will be tears. Molestation usually not as invasive to leave any evidence.

If we look at this paragraph below, there was already evidence to maintain rape charge. But where the reduced charge?

Khong Tam Thanh, 22, Vu Thai Son, 24, and Michael Le, 24, pleaded guilty in the High Court on Monday (14 August) to outraging the Malaysian woman’s modesty by having sex with her while forcibly restraining her at the Carlton Hotel on 10 September, 2016.

Penetration without consent should be rape already.

Tio rotan a few stroke plus jail a few years, life is finished.

Same as the 4 guys in Taiwan now. You think they 'forced' the 2 girls from the disco all the way into their hotel room?

Food for thought ...... think about this

In the legal sense
1. Can you rape/molest a prostitute ?

2. Can you rape/molest your wife ?

Still puzzled as to how this can be reclassified to aggravated molestation

1. Can you rape/molest a prostitute ? Technically yes, there have been convicted cases before. It is after all a transaction. No deal. No go.

2. Can you rape/molest your wife ?

There is no current law on spousal rape in SG but the spouse can hold the other for abuse.
