SINGAPORE – More than three years after veteran track and field coach Loh Siang Piow was first accused of molesting a teenage athlete under his charge in 2013, the trial saw its 27th day in the State Courts on Tuesday (Oct 22).
But it was not without some courtroom drama, as defence lawyer Lew Chen Chen turned the heat on investigation officer Goh Teck Heng, who had contacted Loh on July 31, 2016, after a report was filed by the two alleged victims.
While Loh is standing trial for his alleged deeds against one of the two accusers, three more charges involving the other accuser, who was 16 then, were stood down. The two accusers cannot be named due to a court order.
Loh, 75, who is better known in the sports fraternity as Loh Chan Pew, has been charged with using criminal force on the female athlete when she was 18 by rubbing her genitals on two occasions while massaging the back of her thighs.
Both incidents were said to have happened at the old Tampines Stadium on two Sundays between January and March 17 in 2013.
