SINGAPORE — After meeting an intellectually disabled teenager through his work, a former manager employed by grassroots organisation People's Association (PA) took advantage of his position to sexually assault her on multiple occasions.

At the time of the offences, the accused was 62 years old and the victim was 15, with an intelligence quotient of 66.

The 64-year-old Singaporean was sentenced on Tuesday to 17 years' jail and an additional 12 months' jail in lieu of caning as he is past the age of 50. Knowing his actions could be caught by the closed-circuit television camera in his office, he adjusted the flap of a cardboard box above his cupboard to obscure the camera's view.

He then brought her back to his personal office where he sexually assaulted her before asking the girl to touch his private part. That same day, the accused called the chairman to ask for forgiveness and ask him to"keep quiet" about the matter.
