Appearing before a district court yesterday, Lee Yan Ru, 24, gave his account of what happened in the early hours of Jan 8, 2019, and said he did not intend to outrage the woman s modesty.
He has been accused of using criminal force on the victim, 22, by rubbing his exposed private parts against her chest, intending to outrage her modesty in a study room at SMU.
Lee, who was being examined by his lawyer Josephine Chee from Rajah & Tann, said: When she said stop to me, it was in a very jest(ful) manner. I believe she wanted me to carry on because throughout the night, she was getting more comfortable with me, there was this coy behaviour from her.
