SINGAPORE — A teacher at a top secondary school who got into a relationship with his student will be assessed to see if his bipolar disorder contributed to his offences against the underaged girl 11 years ago.
District Judge Eddy Tham called for a mandatory treatment order suitability report to assess if the man was suited to undergo treatment for his bipolar disorder in lieu of jail time. He will be assessed by a Institute of Mental Health psychiatrist.The accused, a Ministry of Education teacher, met the victim, now aged 24, after he was transferred to her school in 2009. He taught her class history and was the teacher-in-charge of her advanced history class.
By end-February 2011, the pair were in a relationship and would hold hands when they were alone in school. They would meet in a student room allocated for the girl’s co-curricular activity, which she used as a study room. The man would often bring his work and join the victim in the room.Between March and May 2011, the duo were alone in the room, with the victim standing near a wall. The man then approached her, spurring her to back up against the wall.
