Teen allegedly raped girl while on probation
Published on Nov 14, 2012

A teenager who had been given probation for several offences failed to turn up in the High Court on Wednesday for a hearing into a related matter.
This, after he was charged on Nov 12 with a more serious offence of statutory rape, allegedly committed while he was on probation.
Lorrennzo Chia, 18, had initially been sentenced to reformative training by a district court in December last year. He had had sex with a minor, stole and had also made a false police report, claiming a taxi driver molested him.
In April, following an appeal to the High Court, he was instead put on probation for 30 months.
Read the full report in The Straits Times on Wednesday (Nov 14).
