A RESTAURANT manager who wrongfully restrained a Thai sex worker, who subsequently fell to her death from the ninth-floor parapet, was given the maximum fine of $500 on Thursday.
Edmund Peter Anthony admitted to tying Ms Jintana Sae Ueng's hands and ankles with neckties at his Clementi flat on Oct 15, 2007.
He had taken the 27-year-old woman home and had sex with her.
He then wanted to ease himself and bound her hands and ankles.
When he returned to his bedroom, Ms Jintana was not on his bed, but crouching outside the window.
He asked her to climb back in but she lost her balance and fell to her death.
Mr Christopher Bridges said his client had moved out of the flat to stay in a rented room. He said Anthony had paid $5,000 to the woman's husband as a sign of his deep regret and remorse over the whole incident.
Anthony could have been jailed for up to one month and fined.
