32 year old Yong Chun Hong who previously worked as a bouncer was given eight months of imprisonment and two strokes of caning for his role in outraging the modesty of the 24 year old victim.
He previously joined a group of men who took advantage of her while she was drunk.
The 24 year old victim was then brought to a room in D’Resort at Downtown East where she was groped by them and recorded on film before they proceeded to defile her.
What happened
It all started at Club V5 at Ming Arcade along Cuscaden road where the victim was having drinks with her friends at about 3:35am on 17 Sep 2018.
The victim had consumed a lot of alcohol and was left at the club by her friends after they ‘settled’ some issues with another group at around 5:20am.
While left there alone, she continued to drink with Yong and his accomplice, 43 year old Yeo Wei Chieng and another 29 year old Tay Boon Huat.
Around 6am, Yong accompanied the victim to the ladies, before bringing her to the gents for about 15 minutes where they hid behind closed doors.
It was unclear if they did anything behind those doors.
Around 6:35am, the victim was brought down by Yong to the ground floor of Ming Arcade where she was handed over to a fellow bouncer and manager of V5, Yap Chun Chieh.
Yap was instructed by Yong to hire a cab and send the victim back home.
After V5 closed at 7am, Yong and his accomplices took a car wanting to return to their room at D’Resort and they spotted Yap and the victim still waiting for a taxi.
They persuaded Yap to join them and Yong pulled the drunk victim into the car by her arm.
Six of them including Yong, the victim and Yap were in the car which headed to the D’Resort.
The victim was not conscious throughout the journey and while on the journey, three different guys took the opportunity to grope her including Yong who squeezed her mammary glands.
While at the chalet, Yap defiled her while Tay did a explicit act on her and all these were caught on film by a third person, Gan Soon Chai.
Sentenced
Apart from Yong who was sentenced, Yap was earlier sentenced in 2021 March to imprisonment of 12 years and three months plus 10 strokes of caning.
Gan was imprisoned for one year and three months with a fine of $20,800 while Tay was given 10 years and three months plus 5 strokes of caning in 2020 August.
