PRC ex-commando raped girl in presence of 3 Singaporeans
July 30th, 2011 | Author: Temasek Review
PRC new citizen and former commando Wang JianBin raped a 13 year old girl in her flat in the presence of 3 Singaporean men.
According to the state media, the girl was at home with her 18 year old brother and his piano teacher and another 17 year old male friend when Wang forced his way into her home.
When Wang arrived, she took him to her room as he demanded, believing he would not do anything to her with her brother and his piano teacher in the flat.
He shut the bedroom door and began raping her. His brother then rushed into her room with a martial arts spear, but was chased out of the room after a ’struggle’. Wang then continued raping the girl.
The three men had no choice but to call the police for help. By the time the police arrived, the ‘act’ had been done.
Though Wang was a commando during NS, it is still incredulous that three men is unable to stop him from committing the rape.
Such outrageous rape cases occuring in the home of the victim in the presence of others is almost unheard of in Singapore which used to pride itself with its ‘low’ crime rate.
Wang came to Singapore from China with his family in 1997, became a citizen in 2005, and did national service as a commando.
In an interview with National Geographic magazine in December 2009, PAP supreme leader Lee Kuan Yew proclaimed that it is a good thing that Singapore is accepting so many Chinese immigrants from mainland China as they are ‘harder-driving’ and ‘harder-striving’ than locals.
Judging from the horrific nature of this rape case, it appears that there is some element of truth in his words after all.

Former poly student who raped minor jailed

SINGAPORE - They had been acquainted for less than two months, but the then 23-year-old polytechnic student was already sending lewd text messages to the 13-year-old girl.
When she repeatedly spurned his advances and requests to meet, Wang Jian Bin threatened the girl in order to force himself on her.
The High Court yesterday sentenced Wang, a Chinese national who obtained citizenship in 2005, to 13 years in jail and 15 strokes of the cane for raping the minor on Dec 2 two years ago.
The girl, who is now 15, cannot be named to protect her identity.
The court heard that Wang, now 24, got to know the girl through a teen magazine sometime in October that year.
Wang began pestering her to meet and sent explicit text messages to the girl, but she ignored him.
On Dec 2, 2009, Wang threatened to ask his "gang" to create trouble for her and her friends, and to also expose her purported sexual relationship with her boyfriend to her parents unless she allowed him into her home.
She caved in and Wang forced himself on her in her bedroom.
In mitigation, defence lawyer Irving Choh said his client came from a broken family and urged the court for leniency towards a young and exemplary student.
Mr Choh added that Wang sought more strokes of the cane in exchange for a shorter jail term so that he could go back to his mother and younger sister as early as possible.
Deputy Public Prosecutor Chua Ying-Hong, however, pressed for a minimum sentence of 10 years in jail and six strokes of the cane, arguing that Wang had groomed the victim for sexual relations.
From the suggestive text messages he had sent, it was apparent that he was planning to have sex with her.
During the sentencing, Justice Chan Seng Onn noted that Wang had harassed the victim by "continuously sending her sexual and depraved messages despite being told to stop".
Wang had also preyed on his victim's young age by frightening her with threats. Worse, the assault took place in the sanctity of the girl's home, the judge added.
Two other charges of criminal intimidation and sexual penetration of a person under the age of 16 were taken into consideration during the sentencing yesterday.
The rape of a minor below 14 carries a maximum 20-year jail term, a fine or caning.
