SINGAPORE – A National University of Singapore (NUS) student allegedly assaulted a woman in a student accommodation unit on campus on March 21 last year.
Korean Kim Dohyung, 22, whose case was last heard in district court last Wednesday (September 16), is charged with one count of causing her bodily pain.
It is said that he hit the woman on the outside of her right arm, right forearm and left thigh, causing bruises.
The incident is said to have occurred at Prince George’s Park Residences.
When contacted by The Straits Times, NUS declined to comment on whether Kim is still a college student, saying the case is now in court.
Kim is one of several local college students who have appeared in court in recent months for various crimes.
One of them, Singapore Management University (SMU) student Lee Yan Ru, allegedly outraged the modesty of a woman on campus on January 8 last year.
The woman, who is studying at another university, cannot be named due to a gag order.
Lee, who is now 24, has sought trial and his case is still pending.
He remains a student at SMU, pending the outcome of the university’s court trial and disciplinary proceedings, the university said.
In January, former Nanyang Technological University (NTU) student Han Shiyu, 18, was sentenced to a brief two-week arrest warrant after illegally entering a women’s bathroom in a hallway to film a fellow student who was in the shower.
Those who receive a short arrest warrant are put behind bars for a short time, but will have no criminal record after release.
The Chinese citizen committed the crime on August 12 last year and was expelled shortly after by NTU.
Kim’s case was postponed until October 7.
Offenders convicted of battery can be jailed for up to two years and fined up to $ 5,000.
