Manager of PA residents’ network admits to sexually abusing intellectually disabled girl, 15

SINGAPORE – A 62-year-old man who was employed by the People’s Association as the manager of a residents’ network sexually preyed on a 15-year-old intellectually disabled girl after getting to know her family.

A residents’ network is a grassroots organisation under PA which is set up for, among other things, to promote social cohesion among residents. The case was adjourned to October for sentencing, after Justice Mavis Chionh asked for further submissions, noting that this was the first prosecution of the offence after it was introduced in 2019.

She grew to trust the man and had no reservations about him being left alone with the victim, said the prosecutor.The victim also volunteered at events, and the man noticed that she was generally very obedient and a slower learner than her younger sister.
