Additional reports online have noted the sentencing of the woman convicted in a criminal prosecution for having sex. There was a report at thejakartaglobe.com reprinted from the Straits Times Indonesia.
The court heard that the woman, then a technical executive, had been accompanying her father to coffee shops since 2006 to meet his friends for drinks. They became close over time to the point of touching and fondling each others private parts when they were alone in the flat.
One night in April 2008, after the father and daughter came home from a drinking session, an argument broke out when she showed little interest in her father who was trying to speak to her while she was checking her e-mail on her laptop. Her mother was not in.
She eventually apologized. They hugged and caressed each other.
They had sex.
There’s more on what the court is requiring…
During her probation, the accused must live with her maternal aunt and attend therapy sessions with a psychiatrist.
The maximum penalty for the offense is five years’ jail.
Five years in jail for consensual sex. Ridiculous.
It was on Yahoo! News, and here it is in todayonline.com…
In what is believed to be Singapore's first case of consensual incest, a 25-year-old woman was yesterday placed on probation for one year for having sex with her father.
It is most certainly not the first time there has been consensual sex in Singapore. It is just the first time it has been prosecuted and reported. And it should be the last time. An adult should be free to share love, sex, residence, and marriage with any consenting adults without fear of prosecution.
That sucks V_V Let's keep fighting for them :)
