UPDATE:

20-Year-Old Woman Who Falsely Accused 'Sugar Daddy' Of Rape Gets 12 Months' Probation

A 19-year-old woman in Singapore met a man more than twice her age through a sugar-dating platform and later falsely accused him of rape after a payment dispute

The woman, identified as Claris Ling Min Rui, pleaded guilty on Monday, 1 September, to two charges — one of giving false information to a public servant, and another of threatening to report the victim to police for rape, which falls under the Protection from Harassment Act for causing alarm.

According to court documents, Ling and the 43-year-old man began chatting on Telegram after connecting on the adult dating app, reported CNA.

They agreed to meet on 18 March 2025, with the man offering SGD200 (approximately RM650) for "her time". After dinner and drinks at a bar, they went to a hotel where they had consensual sex.

Instead of the previously agreed sum of SGD200, Ling demanded SGD1,200 (approximately RM3,940) from the man. He refused and instead offered SGD500 (approximately RM1,640), which she rejected.

Not satisfied with the amount offered, Ling then threatened to falsely report the man to the police of raping her

Past midnight on 18 March, Ling called the police and sent the man a text saying:

"You're f*cked."

The victim was alarmed by the false allegation.

A police officer arrived at the hotel, and Ling alleged that the man had raped her while she was intoxicated.

Another officer later interviewed her about 2am, and she repeated the same accusation, according to CNA.

However, when police reviewed the hotel's CCTV footage, they found her version of events did not match.

About 10 minutes later, Ling admitted she had lied because the man refused to pay the SGD1,200 she demanded.

In the court yesterday, her defence lawyer argued that his client had already learnt a "very painful lesson"

The lawyer, Rohit Kumar Singh, argued that probation would be an appropriate punishment.

The judge has called for a probation suitability report and adjourned sentencing.

Under Singapore law, giving false information to a public servant carries a penalty of up to two years' jail, a fine, or both. Using threatening words to cause alarm carries a punishment of up to six months' jail, a fine of up to SGD5,000 (approximately RM16,400), or both.
