According to a media release, A 32-year-old Indonesian maid Dina Melina was jailed three months after she pleaded guilty to one count of giving false information to the police.
She lied that her employer’s 71-years-old father-in-law had raped her.
Melina started began working as a maid at Jurong West St 61, in 2013 and occasionally she would visit the flat of the elderly man.
In 2016 she asked the elderly man for a $1,000 loan. But her request was refused and she offered a “quid pro quo” and asked if she can “help” the old man do “anything”. They did the deed in April 2017.
Not long after she asked the elderly man for an additional $1,000 loan and told the elderly man to touch her breast.
Money not enough
The maid pretended to be the elderly man’s daughter and text him claiming that the daughter has found out the truth and demanded another $3,000.
The man knew that it was not his daughter who send the text and refuses to pay anymore money.
After failing to get the money, the maid reported to the Police and accused the man of rape and molestation.
The case dragged on and the maid only revealed the truth after a lie-detector test was conducted in 2021..
