A 43-year-old man in Singapore has been sentenced to eight years in jail for sexually assaulting his friend's daughter. The man took advantage of the victim's unconscious state after consuming alcohol and molested her in public and in a private-hire car. The incident occurred in 2019 and the man was found guilty of two counts of sexual assault by penetration and one count of outrage of modesty.

Instead of sending his friend’s daughter home safely when she fell unconscious after some drinks, a 43-year-old man took it as an opportunity to sexually assault and molest her in public and in a private-hire car. On Tuesday (March 5), Lim Shu Jie Edwin was sentenced to a jail term of eight years and four months as well as 10 strokes of the cane after he was found guilty of two counts of sexual assault by penetration and one count of outrage of modesty in January following a trial.

The victim, then 28 years old, and her father cannot be named due to a gag order protecting their identities. In 2017, Lim became a regular at a cafe the victim's father ran and soon became acquainted with the victim and her father. According to court documents, Lim and the victim met for dinner on April 12, 2019 at Singapore Land Tower in Raffles Place to catch up. This was the first time that they had met up outside of a work setting
