SINGAPORE - A forklift driver who engaged the services of a sex worker told her, when she arrived at his Jurong flat, that he neither had a condom nor the money to pay the agreed price of $200.

The High Court heard that Chew first saw the victim, then 28, in May 2017 while she was working as a performing artiste at a KTV club in Jalan Besar. She is not named owing to a gag order to protect her identity. Instead of giving her his address, Chew asked her to call him before boarding the taxi, then to pass the phone to the driver so that he can give directions to the driver.

This angered Chew, who grabbed a knife on top of his cupboard and placed it against her neck. She immediately knelt and begged for her life, sustaining a superficial cut to her neck.He made her perform a sexual act while he took photos and a video with his mobile phone and had unprotected sex with her.

After failing to persuade him to delete the images, she took a taxi to Orchard Towers. There, she burst into tears as she related the incident to her friends. The DPP noted that Chew took a"needlessly convoluted route" to his flat to prevent the woman from being able to identify his flat.
