NUS law professor in CPIB probe over exchanging grades for sex

[Bigfuck]

Look at the bail for New Zealander gangster now on Interpol. AGC tak boleh.

 

[GoldenDragon]

The prosecution's case will probably be that she gave him sex and some material items, including payment of a bill as reported.
In return, he is guilty of corruption because he gave her a better grade than what she deserved.

After looking at the pictures of both Mr Tey and Ms Ko, we may be able to guess his defence.
His defence may be that he gave her sex.
In return, she gave him some material items, including payment of the bill.
She fully deserved the grade she got.
Hence, no corruption at all. The relationship may have been inapproprite given that she was his student, but no corruption.

Yes, sir. Looks like that will be the case. If she had all along been doing well, not easy to prove Ah Tey favoured her. Ah Tey will mati IF he had alerted her to the questions set and/or 'corrected' and improved her papers before official submission.

 

[lockeliberal]

Dear J ,

His defence would be predicated on the following lines.

a. That though he received gifts from Darine, it was not bribery but an affair as he GAVE in return jewellery little bags etc etc, it was an affair but it was not corruption.

b. That her grades were deserved because he helped her with her homework but did not favor her.

Will they ask Tey and Ko to describe the sex?

 

[laksaboy]

Will they ask Tey and Ko to describe the sex?

Tey + Ko = Tey Ko (underwear).

Quite a match made in heaven.

 

[Leckmichamarsch]

She: I am a nympho who like to fuck..... sometimes I pay in kind with gifts only to get fucked. Prof is young & handsome ... cannot meh?
Prof: When a young cunt offered to be fucked, why shud I decline it? I am a prof, not a stupid bum!

Tey withdrew his application to travel to HK

 

[soIsee]

Ppl here forget that the verdict is based not on fairness but on a need to slaughter one ( no matter whether it was fair or not ) to scare a thousand, who had behaved in a way , displeasing to the Imperial Court.

So those lawyer wannabes here, got to get a lesson or two, behind the Imperial curtain to emerge, not much wiser but MORE FEARFUL thereafter!

Maybe the Imperial eunuch shows these wannabe something they cannot forget! LOL

NUS professor in sex-for-grades scandal to stay in S'pore
Posted: 03 August 2012 1600 hrs

"Remember to sarpok Man U ok?"

SINGAPORE: National University of Singapore associate law professor Tey Tsun Hang, who is embroiled in a sex-for-grades scandal, will not be leaving for Hong Kong to teach at a university there.

41-year-old Tey on Friday withdrew his application to leave jurisdiction for Hong Kong University, where he had intended to teach law from September 2012 to May 2013.

Tey was charged last Friday with six corruption charges for allegedly showing favour to his student, Darinne Ko Wen Hui, between May and July 2010.

Since then, Tey has been suspended "from active duty" by NUS.

Tey's lawyer, Mr Peter Low said that two days ago, Tey was informed that NUS "will not approve his sabbatical leave for academic or other purposes."

In addition, NUS "is unable to support Tey's application to leave jurisdiction to teach at the university in Hong Kong."

However, Mr Low added that Hong Kong University has decided to keep Tey's post open, "in case circumstances permit him to be in Hong Kong."

The court heard that this professorship had been arranged a year ago, and Tey had made arrangements for his sabbatical leave since May 2011. Tey's sabbatical leave was later approved by NUS's law faculty and Hong Kong University.

Tey's bail has been extended and he will back in court on August 23 for a pre-trial conference.

Woman in sex-for-grades scandal may lose law degree

3 August 2012 2:06 PM | Updated 5:29 PM

Ms Darinne Ko Wen Hui, the young woman involved in the sex-for-grades scandal, may lose her law degree. On top of that, she and the associate professor involved might face disciplinary action from the school.

These are the worst-case scenarios painted by teaching staff members at the National University of Singapore, as well as the university itself.

A spokesperson from NUS said that pending the verdict of the court case, disciplinary actions “may include revocation of the degree, certificate or any other outstanding achievements awarded earlier” to the ex-student, Shin Min Daily News reported.

Ms Ko, a former NUS law student, is alleged to have offered sex to her former associate professor Tey Tsun Hang for better grades. Tey has been charged with six counts of corruption, including two charges of sexual gratification from Ms Ko. He was alleged to have obtained, among other things, a Mont Blanc pen worth $740 and an iPod Touch.

He is now suspended from work.

According to The Straits Times, some of the teaching staff members at NUS’ law faculty have received enquiries from alumni on the case, leading the school to feel the need to clarify its actions after Tey was charged.

Another point that surfaced was that NUS did not receive the tip-off for the scandal. The tip-off went straight to the Corrupt Practices Investigation Bureau (CPIB), one staff member revealed.

The person believes that the case is more complicated as the tip-off did not reach the school first. Some staff members are also curious as to how CPIB will prove that the gifts and sexual gratification were provided with the intent of bribery and how these have affected Ms Ko’s grades.

One of them said that “as the CPIB is carrying out the investigations, it is inappropriate for the school to conduct parallel investigation”.

Staff members added that even if Tey is not convicted for the charges, he and the former student might still face disciplinary action from the school, which may include being sacked, and for the ex-student, a revocation of her law degree.

Others said that even if he were found not guilty, he had already violated the “Code of Conduct” and might still be disciplined by the school.

On the other hand, although Ms Ko has already graduated and has not been formally charged, she might also face disciplinary actions from the school for breaching the “Code of Conduct”.

In the latest development today, Channel NewsAsia reported that Tey will not be leaving for Hong Kong to teach at a university there. He was scheduled to teach law from September 2012 to May 2013 there.

Tey's lawyer, Mr Peter Low, said that Tey was informed on 1 August that NUS "will not approve his sabbatical leave for academic or other purposes" and the university "is unable to support Tey's application to leave jurisdiction to teach at the university in Hong Kong".

Mr Low added that Hong Kong University is still keeping Tey's post open, "in case circumstances permit him to be in Hong Kong".

Tey will be back in court on 23 August for a pre-trial conference.

Singapore’s schizophrenic jurisprudence is fascinating to many legal scholars. Its genius has been to present Singapore as one of the most sophisticated and open societies with its common law, all the while being careful to help keep its highly-controlled political and social system largely intact.

Tey puts forward a brilliant examination of a jurisprudence that has been assembled over decades. It builds on meticulously mined case-law, to illuminate issues ranging from the use of civil defamation proceedings to tackle political dissent, the use of death penalty and criminal ..........

SINGAPORE: National University of Singapore (NUS) Law professor Tey Tsun Hang, who is at the centre of the sex-for-grades scandal, will go on trial for nine days in October.

Speaking to the media outside the Subordinate Courts on Thursday, Tey said it is slated to be heard from 15 October to 25 October.

He faces six corruption charges for allegedly showing favour to his student, Darinne Ko Wen Hui, between May 2010 and July 2010.

Tey allegedly gave Ms Ko better grades in return for sex and gifts.

Accompanied by his lawyer, Peter Low, Tey told reporters that the prosecution had again pressed for early trial dates.

But Mr Low had told the court that defence could not be ready if an early trial was fixed.

41-year-old Tey added that his lawyers are still waiting for medical records from Alexandra Hospital and witness statements, among other things.

In a turn of events, Tey said he is taking legal action against his employer NUS and the public prosecutor.

He has filed two criminal motions, which will be heard at the High Court on 24 September.

Tey did not elaborate further on this.

NUS said Tey has been suspended from his duties.

The father-of-one faces six corruption charges for allegedly showing favour to his student, Darinne Ko Wen Hui, between May 2010 and July 2010.

Court documents show that Tey allegedly gave Ms Ko better grades in return for sex and gifts.

A pre-trial conference has been fixed for 1 October before the trial begins.

Sex-for-grades case: Prof's application for answers dismissed by Appeals Court

Published on Nov 28, 2012

The Court of Appeal on Wednesday dismissed the application of law professor Tey Tsun Hang, who had wanted four questions of law heard before the sex-for-grades case goes to trial.

The court also ordered Tey to pay $1,500 to Alexandra Hospital, for the latter's presence in the day's proceedings.

The hospital's lawyer argued that their client had already released all necessary documents prior to the session today, and their presence was therefore 'unjustified'.

Tey, 41, faces six charges of obtaining sex and gifts in 2010 from his former student Darinne Ko Wen Hui, now 23, in exchange for better grades.

NUS prof in sex-for-grades case to defend himself
By Claire Huang | Posted: 10 January 2013 2147 hrs

NUS law professor Tey Tsun Hang (C) leaving the court after the first day of the trial.

SINGAPORE: The National University of Singapore (NUS) law professor who is on trial for corruption in a sex-for-grades case will defend himself in court.

Tey Tsun Hang, 41, made the request in an unexpected twist minutes into the trial on Thursday morning.

Although confusion and disagreement arose over his request, the matter was eventually sorted out after an hour.

Tey appeared to be ready to defend himself. He arrived in court dressed in a grey pin-striped suit. He later changed into a bar jacket after he asked to defend himself.

He is accused of obtaining gratification in the form of sex on two occasions, as well as gifts including a Montblanc pen, an iPod and tailor-made shirts between May and July 2010.

The prosecution said these were inducements to show favour in his assessment of Ms Darinne Ko Wen Hui's academic performance.

Ninety minutes into the trial, key prosecution witness Darinne Ko was called to the stand.

The 23-year-old former student of Tey said they came to know each other in January 2010.

She told the court she liked Tey as a friend and had given him the 740-dollar Montblanc pen as a belated birthday gift in May 2010.

She also bought him two custom-made shirts worth more than S$230 and an iPod Touch worth S$160 from an online forum as a romantic gesture.

Ms Ko told the court that they were dating at that time, "so it did not seem incongruous" to give Tey gifts.

The court heard that as the two interacted more frequently in April 2010, Tey would meet Ms Ko for lunch about two to three times a week. He would pick her up from her workplace and pay for the lunches.

Tey is also accused of corruptly obtaining gratification in the form of payment of a bill of S$1,280 for a dinner he hosted at Garibaldi restaurant in July 2010.

The dinner for nine was meant to thank his former students, including Ms Ko, for helping him with research work.

But Ms Koh later revealed that after their relationship ended, she asked for Tey to pay her back S$1,000 and he did so.

Some six hours into her testimony, Ms Ko recounted her very first sexual experience, which was with Tey in his NUS office in July 2010. She was clearly distressed as she teared and tried to cover her face with one hand. This was a clear contrast to the calm and collected manner in which she answered other questions.

Ms Ko told the court she had sex with Tey because she loved him.

The court was also told Tey went to the United States in September 2010 to visit her when she was there for an overseas study stint.

But they got found out by Ms Ko's then-boyfriend, who reported the matter to her parents.

Eventually, she was made to cut all ties with Tey and did so.

The prosecution said in its opening statement that Tey had revealed confidential class ranking as well as results to Ms Ko to demonstrate his power over her.

It said Tey had taken advantage of his student and the transactions were "tainted with an objectively corrupt element".

The trial continues.

Sex-for-grades NUS prof wants to argue own case
By Claire Huang | Posted: 10 January 2013 1148 hrs

File photo: Tey Tsun Hang (TODAY/Don Wong)

SINGAPORE: The law professor on trial for corruption in a sex-for-grades case will represent himself in his own defence.

The unexpected twist came after Tey Tsun Hang asked the court to allow him to be co-counsel, alongside his lawyer, Mr Peter Low.

But Chief District Judge Tan Siong Thye rejected this request.

Instead, he allowed Mr Low to assist Tey in his trial but not conduct the cross-examinations.

Tey then asked the judge to allow him to conduct the trial out of the dock.

Prosecution objected to the request, saying whether or not Tey conducts his own trial, he's still an accused person.

Forty-one-year-old Tey faces six charges of having corruptly obtained gifts and sex from Ms Darinne Ko Wen Hui, 23, in exchange for better grades.

The Prosecution has lined up 14 witnesses to testify in the trial.
