A 24-year-old man, who was roped in by another man to take part in a threesome with the latter’s girlfriend without her knowledge and consent, was sentenced to 17 years and 10 months’ jail and 14 strokes of the cane for rape and other sexual offences yesterday.
High Court judge Pang Khang Chau found that Srihari Mahendran played a subordinate role in the trysts to the “real mastermind” – the woman’s then boyfriend who had recruited him to fulfil his fantasy of watching another man have sex with his girlfriend.
Justice Pang said he could not ignore the leadership role played by the boyfriend, but noted that the boyfriend had pleaded guilty, while Srihari had contested his charges.
The 28-year-old boyfriend, a former auxiliary police officer, is serving a jail term of 19 years and 11 months for abetting Srihari to rape and sexually assault the victim on two separate occasions in 2016. He was also sentenced to 24 strokes of the cane.
He cannot be named due to a gag order to protect the identity of his former girlfriend.
