SINGAPORE: An Australian man was fined S$1,500 on Thursday for committing an obscene act in a Prinsep Street nightspot at around 11pm on Tuesday.
36-year-old Aaron Benjamin Butcher was caught with a woman performing oral sex on him inside a KTV room at the Embazy club. He could have been jailed up to three months, fined or both.
It is believed the woman, a Filipina, was one of the outlet's employees, 22-year-old Avila Rosela Mae Mallon.
Two of her colleagues, who are also Filipinas, were allegedly found inside the same KTV room with their breasts exposed. It is believed they are Lumbre Carla Jane Alaras and Cacho Jaquelyn Rosario, both 23 years old.
But the three women did not turn up in court on Thursday and warrants of arrest for them have been issued.
Channel NewsAsia understands that the trio were employed by the company that owns Embazy but they were not supposed to be working in the nightspot.
If convicted of appearing in a state of undress in a public place, Alaras and Rosario can each be jailed up to three months, fined a maximum of S$2,000, or both.
The police said the group was arrested during a licence checking operation at entertainment outlets on Tuesday evening.
