Was surfing the chinese omy.news website for Singapore news when I saw the following headline:
[ 国大生非礼同学 不服判决提上诉
一名大学生搭乘校内短程巴士时，用下体摩擦一名女学生，被判入狱15个月和鞭打3下。被告和控方都分别对判决提出上诉，被告如今保释在外。
自称以全班第一名成绩毕业的新加坡国立大学（NUS）心理学系学生张伟恩（28岁，译音），于2006年9月14日晚上9时30分在搭乘校内巴士时，用阳具摩擦另一系女学生（24岁）的大腿。化验结果显示，受害人大腿上留下的污渍是被告的精液。
被告否认非礼受害人，并声称患有自发性射精的精神病（spontaneous ejaculation）。被告还说，心理卫生学院（IMH）在2001年诊断他沉迷性欲，此病的症状包括早泄。
法官陈立静在判词中说，即使被告有病，也没理由用下体摩擦受害人的大腿。法官也认为，被告的供词和回答问题的反应，显得经过深思熟虑。
被告有非礼前科，2001年，他在一所中学兼职教打鼓时非礼2个女学生，也被判入狱15个月和鞭打3下。]

At first this looks like any other normal molest case to me until I notice that this guy was from the same batch as me studying psychology in NUS... Then I realised his name looks familiar... THEN I realise who he was.
This guy was one of the other 2 friends who did internship with me at the Singapore Prisons Svc at the end of my third year!!! And we three became quite gd frens after that, often going out for lunch together and chit chatting while going home together... And in my honours yr, I also often sit together with him in class when taking my 5000 level statistic class, as I thought he was very easy to get along with and very helpful whenever I approached him for some difficult statistic questions. My impression of him was that he was very intelligent, kind, helpful and nerdy kind of guy. Never thought that he would be a sexual offender!! My god!!!
The worst part was, he actually had a previous record of molesting two girls back in 2001, and he did it again in 2006! Which was the year we took stats class together!!! But at that time was Sept so I graduated liao la...Was really shocked to see this news...as he looked so decent and all that, and I never caught him "leering" at girls or anything like that...haiz...really cannot judge a book by its cover de...but anyway, hope that he won't do this again la...he was really wasted as he was really a bright person, with a lot of his own ideas and he seemed so passionate about pursuing a career in psychology....haiz...a pity, most likely his prospects will be ruined and he cannot avoid imprisonment liao...
