SINGAPORE: A teenager took turns with a 40-year-old
neighbour to have sex with an underage girl in a
lorry.
His case came up in court on Friday and he is
expected to be sentenced on 12 December, pending a probation
report.
If convicted he could be jailed 10 years, fined or
given both.
The case against the 40-year-old neighbour, Hang Tuah Jumaat, will
come up for mention in January next year.
The 17-year-old youth is also the ex-boyfriend of the 13-year-old
girl.
The teenager and Hang Tuah Jumaat invited the girl for drinks and
they were all driven to Kranji Camp between 21 and 22 April 2010 by
Hang Tuah Jumaat.
They had drinks together and the girl became intoxicated and
drowsy.
Hang Tuah Jumaat then asked the teen to have sex with the girl, but
he declined and went to sleep.
When he woke up, he saw Hang Tuah Jumaat having sex with the
girl.
The teen was again told by Hang Tuah Jumaat to have sex with the
girl and this time he did.
The court heard that the girl's eyes were closed and she appeared
intoxicated throughout.
Hang Tuah Jumaat drove the teen and the girl back, but left the
girl sleeping in the lorry when she complained that she could not
get up.
The girl later went to school where she was referred to a
counsellor, and a police report was made.
On the same day, the teenager was detained in school where he
admitted to the offence.
He claimed he was high on heroin at the time of the incident and
had acted out of fear towards Hang Tuah Jumaat, court documents
revealed.
