FIVE ON TRIAL, FIVE DENY, THREE SHOWS NO SIGNS OF REMORSE

The typical thing about rapist is that they look exceptionally
hideous, overweight and their name sounds ridiculous.
Wtf is Lim Boon Tai?










Well in case you can't or you haven't get to read news,
There you go..


Singapore — What was supposed to be a supper date turned
into anordeal for a 17-year-old girl, who was allegedly gang-
raped by five young men. The girl, now 18, had agreed to have
a meal with a man called “Jonathan” in December last year.
Instead, she was taken to a flat in Woodlands, where the men
took turns to rape and sexually assault her.The accused —
Muhammad Shafie bin Ahmad Abdullah, 19; Mohd Sadruddin
bin Azman, 19; Lim Boon Tai, 20; Rishi Mohan, 17; and Mohamed
Firdaus bin Roslan, 18 — have denied the charges and are likely to
testify that the sex was consensual. Shafie and Lim were full-time
National Servicemen at the time of the offence, while Sadruddin
and Firdaus were then waiting for their O-level results. Rishi,
a Malaysian citizen, was a student at the Institute of Technical
Education.



The morning after the alleged crime, the girl’s boyfriend
called the police after she told him what happened. Four days later,
the men were arrested. In his opening statement, deputy public
prosecutor Gordon Oh said on the evening of Dec 25 last year, the

victim was on a bus to Woodlands bus interchange and on the way
home, when a man calling himself “Jonathan” rang her and asked
to have supper with her. “Jonathan” did not turn up. Instead, a
friend of the girl — who is one of the accused — arrived in a taxi to
pick her up from Woodlands MRT station. He brought her to a flat
in Woodlands, where she was introduced to the other men. There,
Lim introduced himself as Jonathan.


The victim joined four of the accused men in a card game where the
loser had to drink a soft drink mixed with vodka. She had more than
five disposable plastic cups of the cocktail, Mr Oh said. During another
game, the victim — whose head was spinning from the alcohol by that
point — refused to kiss Lim as a forfeit. The games ended when someone
knocked on the flat’s door. Thinking it was Shafie’s parents returning
home, the group suggested that the victim and Lim hide in a room
together. In the room, Lim allegedly pushed the girl onto a mattress
and made sexual advances. She resisted but with her head feeling
heavy, gave in to him.



Later, while she was resting in Shafie’s room, the men allegedly
entered, stripped her and took turns raping and sexually assaulting
her. Two psychiatrists will testify that the girl now suffers from post-

traumatic stress disorder and has depressive symptoms, said Mr Oh.
In court yesterday, the men — three of them bespectacled — sat in
the
cramped dock. Few of their family members appeared to be in court, but they seemed relaxed and were seen smiling and talking to each other.
