The verdict of the case involving the law professor accused of corruptly obtaining gifts and sex from a former student will be delivered today, following a trial that spanned four months.
Tey Tsun Hang, 42, faces six counts of corruptly obtaining gratification in the form of gifts and sex from Ms Darinne Ko Wen Hui, in return for giving her better grades between May and July 2010.
The prosecution’s case is that Tey — a professor at the National University of Singapore — had portrayed himself as someone who could influence Ms Ko’s career and drew her into a relationship.
It added that Tey then sought gratification in the form of gifts including a S$740 Montblanc pen, and sex, from a former student who was not in a position to resist.
The defence however, argued that Tey and Ms Ko were in a mutually loving and affectionate relationship.
If convicted, Tey faces a jail term of up to five years and a maximum fine of S$100,000 on each charge.
