SINGAPORE: A man was on Friday (Aug 5) sentenced to nine years, nine months and four weeks' jail and eight strokes of the cane, after being convicted of sexually assaulting his sister's intoxicated friend in his family flat.
A High Court judge found Norvan Tan En Jie, 26, guilty in July. He had claimed trial to two counts of sexual assault by penetration and two counts of outrage of modesty.
Tan is the co-founder of Singapore food business Beef Bro.
The identity of the victim, who was 19 at the time, is protected by gag order. She was a friend of Tan's sister.
The two women had returned to the flat after a night of drinking in the early morning of Dec 26, 2016. Around the same time, Tan returned home with two friends.
Justice Ang Cheng Hock found that Tan sexually assaulted the victim on the living room sofa, on his sister's bed and in the toilet over several minutes, while his sister was talking to one of his friends in his room.
The victim formed the view that Tan was her assailant during each assault, based on the man's voice and build, the judge previously said.
