When it comes to sex crimes, who can you trust?
An educated NUS student with a 4.39 GPA? Nope.
What about your own friend? Nope, as it was learnt by Monica Baey the hard way.

What about a policeman? Surely you can trust an officer of the law? And a friend of yours at that?
Still nope.
Tricked Friend Into Posing In A Bra
Lee Yan Han was a 22-year-old full-time NSF serving in the SPF on 2 July last year.
He told his female friend that he was investigating fake mirrors in a changing room, and had already caught three out of six culprits thus far.
Wah, so cool seh~
He claimed that he needed pictures of her in a bra to lure the culprits on an online forum. While she was initially reluctant, she agreed to help as she felt pity for him, who was supposedly left to work on the case alone.
I don’t know how that worked, but it did.
He then took several screenshots during the video call, and then later on even asked her to take off her bra. But this was when she refused completely.

As she felt uncomfortable afterwards, she made a police report based on the advice of a friend she had confided in.
Oh, making a police report against a policeman.
The Return of the Probation Suitability Report
After investigations by (other) police, it was revealed that he had not been tasked to perform such investigative duties at all.
They were all just lies.
The Deputy Public Prosecutor (DPP) told the judge that the victim felt betrayed upon learning of Yan Han’s betrayal.

While the defence counsel called for a probation suitability report (another one?!), the DPP argued that the credibility of the police force was at stake.
“If (Lee) was not a police officer, the victim would not have submitted to his demands,” he said.
Probation or Jail?
Don’t worry, this time justice was served. No escaping a jail term.
Eventually, he was sentenced to three months’ jail yesterday (7 October).
However, he is currently out on a $15,000 bail and apparently intends to appeal.

Honestly, a 3-month sentence is already considered a light sentence.
What is he hoping for? 21-month probation?
Maybe your GPA not high enough for that.
Here’s what NCMPs are, and what to expect after GE2025:
