56 sexual misconduct cases handled by autonomous universities in past 3 years: Ong Ye Kung.

“No discernible trend” was seen in these cases, said Ong, who was responding to questions by several Members of Parliament on sexual misconduct on campus. There were 21 cases in Academic Year 2017, 18 in Academic Year 2016, and 17 cases in Academic Year 2015, he pointed out.

The rest - Singapore University of Technology and Design , Singapore Institute of Technology and Singapore University of Social Sciences - had one case each. Of the remaining 31 cases, which involved serious offences such as outrage of modesty or multiple instances of voyeurism, 10 resulted in jail terms of between 10 days and eight months.

Lim, who was a first-time offender, was also given a 12-month conditional warning by the police. If he were to commit another offence over the following 12 months after the warning, he would be prosecuted for both offences. To determine the appropriate penalties, the severity of the misconduct and any mitigating factors, such as how remorseful and forthcoming the offender was during investigations, the potential for rehabilitation, and the presence of any mental health issues, will be taken into account.
