THE blood-alcohol level
found in a young woman at the time of an alleged rape by Ong
Mingwee was more than three times the legal limit for drink
driving.
The 255mg ethanol per 100
ml of blood was above the toxic level but below the lethal level of
350mg, said a forensic pathologist.
Senior consultant forensic pathologist Wee Keng Poh testified on
Friday at Ong Mingwee's rape trial that the level found on the
then-22-year-old woman would physically or mentally incapacitate
her.
She would also not be capable of giving consent. Dr Wee said the
alcohol she had taken would reduce her ability to protect herself,
impair her judgment, her perception of others, as well as her
ability to resist both physically and verbally.
Ong, 28, is said to have raped the woman at a flat above his
family-run minimart at Toa Payoh North in the early hours on Feb
12, 2009.
After calling 14 prosecution witnesses, the prosecution closed
its case. District Judge Hamidah Ibrahim called on his defence.
Ong, who elected to give evidence, will take the stand when hearing
continues on Feb 14. The maximum penalty for rape is 20 years' jail
and fine or caning.
