This guy has a lousy defence lawyer. If his defence lawyer had any brains, he would have instructed the idiot to say that the girl asked for $200 in exchange for going to his place to have sex. End of the story. Whether true or not, the DPP will not risk prosecuting this guy for sex services under the charge of rape.
The prosecutors in S'pore are a bunch of assholes. All sinkies need to be careful. They are just out to score points and gain promotions, they will go after anyone even when there is no evidence and its a case of one person's word agianst the other. U enter a elevator with another girl, when lift door opens, she screams rape, you are fucked. Even when you have done nothing. A girl gets into a taxi and than claims the taxi driver molested her, even though nothing happened, the taxi driver is fucked. This is the way its happening now. The judges base their decisions on the economic and social background of the accused and the accuser and whether one is more believable or not, or by how honest their face looks. NOT ON THE EVIDENCE OR LACK THEREOF.
In this case, the woman consensually got into a taxi to go back to this guy's place in the middle of the night. Not to her own bed. Did the DPP think that they were going to play a game of Monopoly in the middle of the night at his flat? Unless the DPP is some sort of pondan, 99% of logical people will assume they are going back to fuck.
Where he went wrong was that if she is crying and chnaged her mind, he should have just taken her home, or put her in a taxi cab. If she wants to crash at his place, that is find too. She can sleep in another room. I have had drunk girls sleep over in my place until the next morning. Its better to let them sleep over than drive home drunk. And I can tell u, its no fun to fuck a drunk girl. They can't do anything right, and just lie there. I much rather they they are sober before having sex with them. Even after he had sex with her, he should have send her home in a taxi, and walk her to her front door and make sure the mother and all that saw him do this good deed. Very few "rapists" will do this and it will make her that much harder to file the rape charge. All in, a bad night for all.
