SINGAPORE: A doctor convicted of sexually assaulting his patient was on Wednesday sentenced to 10 years' jail.
She said “medicine has long been regarded as the most noble of professions”, but Wee’s “senseless actions” violated its ethics and code, “forever shattering” the victim’s life. The woman, aged 23 when the assault took place, had told the court that after the incident, she “was living like a walking dead, walking as per normal, but I was just dead inside”. She also wondered why it happened to her, “out of so many patients”.
Wee was acquitted of the rape charge as the judge said he was satisfied that there was reasonable doubt as to whether penile penetration could have taken place. He also maligned police officers, calling them"stupid" and"blatantly lying about ill treatment while in custody", said the prosecution.
