A 20-year-old female ITE student was jailed for 22 months for attacking a 53-year-old Frenchman, who was a client of her prostitute friend.
Nur Azilah Ithnin had pleaded guilty to causing grievous hurt to product line manager Didier Moise Dominguez, as well as for drug-taking in March earlier this year, reported The Straits Times.
She was the first among five in an online prostitution ring case to plead guilty.
The other four in this case are 23-year-old Nuurul Aliyyah Abdul Talib; Ahmad Habiibul Hakim Assalafi, her 19-year-old brother; 33-year-old Malcolm Graham Head and his 19-year-old girlfriend, Patricia Rio.
Investigation showed that Azilah had been a close friend of Aliyyah and Ahmad since secondary school.
Aliyyah, who met Head and Rio and subsequently worked for them as a call girl, was asked to go to Marina Bay Residences to provide sexual services to Mr Dominguez, who had made a two-hour booking for her at $280.
Worried over her safety, Azilah and the group accompanied Aliyyah to Marina Boulevard. Due to some misunderstanding between Dominguez and Aliyyah, she was not agreeable to provide certain sexual services to him and called the quartet for help. Some news sources speculated that the French client wanted anal sex which is illegal in Singapore. It is unsure why the French client was not charged for that matter.
The four turned up and assaulted the victim, leaving him with fractures on his jaw. Azilah kicked the victim's body twice while the others punched and kicked him.
Dominguez approached security to call an ambulance after the assault, and was warded for four days given 28 days.
The five were arrested at Arab Street on Mar 5. Hakim's case is set to be mentioned on Oct 2, while a further pre-trial conference has been fixed for the rest this week.
