SINGAPORE: The former school teacher accused of having sex
with her student now faces an additional eight charges, bringing
the total number to nine.
The woman, who is in her early 30s, was originally charged with one
count of having sex with a minor under the age of 16 some time in
January this year.
She is now accused of having sex with the same student on three
other occasions in January this year.
Wearing glasses and sporting side-swept hair, the petite woman also
faces three counts of digital
penetration with the teen in December last
year.
She allegedly gave the student oral sex twice in December
2011.
Court documents stated that all acts were committed with the
student's consent.
Both the woman and teenager cannot be named due to a court
order.
Earlier in court, the woman's defence lawyer said his client
intends to plead guilty.
Prosecution told the court it will be proceeding on two of the nine
charges.
If convicted, the woman faces the maximum penalty of 10 years' jail
and a fine, on each count.
