SINGAPORE: Her accusations could have landed an
innocent man in deep trouble.
Even though Rohatin, an Indonesian maid, had
consensual sex with an unnamed Turkish man, she later made a police
report on 26 December last year, claiming that he had raped her on
three occasions.
The 33-year-old domestic helper went to the Bedok
Police Division Headquarters and gave the false information to
Staff Sergeant Chng Shaw Meng who launched an investigation soon
afterwards.
Rohatin admitted in a district court on Thursday that she had lied
to the authorities and was sentenced to three months' jail.
The court heard that the man, whose name is unknown, had promised
to employ her as his maid after she confided her problems to him on
22 December 2010.
But the man, who has other girlfriends, broke his promise and
spurned Rohatin, who then plotted revenge.
She told police that the man had raped her on 24 and 25 December so
that he would get in trouble with the law.
