Three British men to be caned for sexual assault of woman at Singapore stag party
Judge sentences men to five to eight strokes of rattan cane and up to six-and-a-half years in prison for ‘reprehensible’ attack on Malaysian woman
Three British men were sentenced on Tuesday to jail time and caning for sexually assaulting a Malaysian woman during a stag party in Singapore.
Khong Tam Thanh, 22, Le Michael, 24, and Vu Thai Son, 24, were originally accused of rape, but pleaded guilty on Monday to a lesser charge of aggravated outrage of modesty after a four-day trial.
High court judge Hoo Sheau Peng slammed their “reprehensible” conduct and sentenced the trio to jail terms of between five-and-a-half and six-and-a-half years.
They were also sentenced to between five and eight strokes of the cane each. Caning is a punishment dating back to British colonial rule in Singapore and involves being flogged with a rattan stick.
