SINGAPORE: A woman who made a false report that she had been raped because a man refused to pay her S$1,200 (US$935) after sex was sentenced to probation on Monday (Oct 27).
Claris Ling Min Rui, now 20, was ordered to undergo 12 months' supervised probation, during which she must remain indoors from 10pm to 6am unless the Probation Services Branch varies the conditions.
She also must perform 60 hours of community service. Her parents furnished a bond of S$5,000 to ensure her good behaviour during probation.
Ling pleaded guilty in September to two charges of giving false information to a public servant and causing alarm by threatening to report the victim to the police for rape.
Ling came to know the victim, a 43-year-old man, through the dating platform Sugarbook.
They agreed to meet for a date in March this year, with the man agreeing to pay her S$200 for "her time". After going to a bar, they had consensual sex in a hotel.
However, after Ling asked the man to pay her S$1,200, he refused. After being scolded by Ling, who was then 19, the man said he would pay her S$500.
Ling rejected this sum. She later threatened to call the police to report that he had raped her. After doing so, she sent him a text, saying: "You're f***ed."
During police investigations, Ling initially stood by her account but later admitted that she had lied about the rape because of the man's refusal to pay her the sum she sought.
For giving false information to a public servant, she could have been jailed for up to two years, fined, or both.
For using threatening words to cause alarm, she could have been jailed for up to six months, fined up to S$5,000, or both.
Looking back, moi think she should just take the $500 Bro Dr Stephen Strange... :(

why probation only?

she destroyed:

1. someone reputation
2. giving false info to police
3. its very hard to proof innocence for the guy. if the accusation goes through, he will be in jail for years
Ya guys will always be on the losing end. Actually if she is adamant about her version of what happened + nv send the text message, most likely the verdict will be in her favour.

Censensual prostitution (selling sex in exchange for $$) is legal in Singapore ?

Sexual service advertising (online or offline) - Sugarbook is legal in Singapore ?

too light a sentence

Imagine if she gotten her way

In Singapore, a person convicted of rape can face imprisonment of up to 20 years, a fine, or caning, or a combination of these. For rape involving a victim under 14 and an offender in an exploitative relationship, the punishment is a mandatory minimum of 8 years to a maximum of 20 years imprisonment, along with a mandatory minimum of 12 strokes of the cane.

Penalties for rape
  • Standard rape:
    Imprisonment for up to 20 years, and the offender may also be liable for a fine or caning.

  • Rape of a child under 14:
    If the offender is in an exploitative relationship with the child, the punishment is a mandatory minimum of 8 years and a maximum of 20 years imprisonment, plus a mandatory minimum of 12 strokes of the cane.

  • Attempted rape:
    The penalty can be as severe as for completed rape, depending on the circumstances.

to even the score, she shld receive half the sentence imposed for a real rapist. Shld be jailed minimum for 4 years mandatory up to 10 years.

then for her crime in making the false police report another sentencing, extortion another sentencing, prostitution another sentencing.
