SINGAPORE – A 20-year-old man pleaded guilty on Monday (September 28) to handcuffing and blindfolding a girl, then 13, before committing various indecent acts on her in a toilet for the disabled in Plaza Singapura last year. past.
Alaric Lim Qixian was then a full-time national serviceman with the Singapore Civil Defense Force (SCDF).
The girl cannot be named due to a gag order to protect her identity.
District Judge Sharmila Sripathy called for parole and reform training reports to be made.
The court heard that in early 2019, Lim met the girl at a cosplay event before starting to message each other on Instagram.
He claimed to be a photographer who took daring photos and offered to take them of her.
The girl said she wanted to participate in a photoshoot that featured bondage, discipline or domination, sadism and masochism, or BDSM, but clarified that she did not want to go completely naked.
Then Lim offered to give the girl a test and suggested they go to a dark part of a shopping mall.
After agreeing to meet at Plaza Singapura, the couple spent 15 minutes playing a mobile game before Lim pulled out a rope, black bandage, and black leather handcuffs.
In a handicapped bathroom on the fourth floor, he began to touch her under her shirt.
The court heard that the girl told him to stop and he withdrew his hands but soon began licking her.
The test lasted 15 minutes and the girl was “shocked and disgusted” but did not yell for help because she was afraid of what Lim would do.
Afterward, he took a bus home, showered, and told his mother. They made a police report the next day.
Later, videos were found under the skirts of two women on Lim’s phone. She had taken them at Bukit Panjang MRT station in 2018.
Assistant District Attorney Joshua Phang noted that Lim had committed “three serious crimes of a sexual nature.”
Lim’s attorney argued that his client had met the girl at a cosplay event and since this involved role-playing characters in costume, his client did not believe that her acts were sexual in nature.
He said Lim was admitted to the Institute of Mental Health in June last year for an adjustment disorder.
District Judge Sripathy noted that Lim showed “an escalation of sexual (offenses) over a period of more than a year.”
Lim’s case will be seen soon on October 5.
