TAIPEI – Four Singaporean men have been given suspended jail terms by a Taiwan
court for sexually assaulting two women in Taipei last December, Taiwanese media reported on Friday (Oct 6).
The relatively lenient sentence means that the four – undergraduates Lau Wei Seng, Bryan Ong Kun Jun, Tan Juan Yin and Lim Wei Xuan – will not have to serve time behind bars, but live under supervised probation in Taiwan for the next four to five years, the mass-circulation United Daily News and China Times said.
In a press statement, the Shihlin District Court in Taipei was cited as saying that the four men are remorseful and had reached a settlement with the two women, paying them an unspecified sum of compensation. [FULL STORY]
