SINGAPORE – A 21-year-old, one of two youths accused of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old student while she was intoxicated following a game of Truth or Dare, pleaded guilty to a charge of rape on Thursday (Oct 31).
The accused, who was 19 at the time of the offence in 2017, admitted that he had sex with the girl without her consent at the foot of a Housing Board block in Pasir Ris, while his co-accused, then 18, held her head.
The latter is charged with attempted rape and sexual assault by penetration but his case is still pending.
The accused’s case was adjourned to Dec 2 for sentencing arguments.
Seven other charges, including one each for sexual assault by penetration and one for abetment of attempted rape, will be considered when he is sentenced.
The two youths, who worked as waiters at the time, are not named due to a gag order barring the publication of information that can lead to the identification of the victim, who is a Singapore permanent resident.
The High Court heard that the girl befriended a group of four youths in 2017 and hung out with them at various locations in Pasir Ris.
