Man at the centre of wife-sharing rape cases gets jail and caning

The 42-year-old Singaporean conspired with five other men to have his own wife drugged and raped over a period of eight years. He also conspired with two men to rape their wife or ex-wife.

He was previously represented by two different sets of lawyers, but dropped them and acted for himself.J, a safety officer, married his wife, now 41, in 2008 and have four children together. J asked his wife if she was interested in a threesome but was rebuffed, so he hatched a plan to sedate his wife for other men to have sex with her.

Between 2010 and 2011, J's wife told him she was not feeling well. J pretended to feed her medicine but slipped her a sedative instead, causing her to lose consciousness. The case came to light when J’s wife woke up before her husband in January 2020 and noticed a video playing on his phone. She saw explicit images of herself in a Skype chat with accomplice K.

He asked to receive treatment so that he could"be considered safe enough to be returned to my home, my family, as my family nucleus is still very much intact".He claimed that his wife has forgiven him, but the prosecution rebutted this by reading from his wife's victim impact statement, where she said:"I kept thinking about how cruel he was to do this to me.

She added that his depressed mood in prison was because he was fearful that his wife might divorce him while he was in jail.
