SINGAPORE – A domestic helper made a police report falsely accusing her employer of rape after finding out that her work permit was going to be terminated due to her poor work performance.
Indian national Lamneithiem, 28, who goes by only one name, pleaded guilty on Tuesday (Oct 15) to giving false information to a public servant and was sentenced to three weeks’ jail.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Navin Naidu said Lamneithiem went to Kampong Java Neighbourhood Police Centre at around 4.30pm on April 21 to lodge a report, claiming that her Singaporean employer had raped her.
A policeman was taking a statement from the maid about 3½ hours later when she stated instead that she had consensual sexual intercourse with the married man.
The employer cannot be named due to a gag order to protect his identity.
But when a second police officer recorded a further statement from Lamneithiem at around 1.20pm on April 24, the maid changed her account again and said that the act was non-consensual.
About six hours later, a third policeman recorded another statement from the maid, as she had given contradictory accounts, the court heard.
