SINGAPORE – A doctor who was convicted in March of assaulting his then-girlfriend, causing multiple facial fractures, pleaded guilty in court on Monday (June 22) to two more assault charges involving the woman.
Clarence Teo Shun Jie was sentenced to three years, six months and two weeks’ jail with four strokes of the cane. He was also fined $4,000.
On March 9 after a trial, District Judge Toh Han Li found Teo, 35, guilty of one count each of causing grievous hurt to Ms Rachel Lim En Hui in his Redhill flat in August 2017 and of wrongfully confining her.
On Monday, Teo admitted that he assaulted Ms Lim on two separate occasions in March that year.
An online search reveals that he is still a medical practitioner.
Teo had told the court during the trial that he worked as a locum – or stand-in doctor – at clinics.
The court heard that Teo was “drunk… happy and tipsy” when Ms Lim, 27, who worked in the communications industry, met him at his flat on March 12, 2017.
The pair were in his bedroom later that day when he suddenly brought up her past relationships and yelled at her.
