According to local media such as the Yonhap News Agency, a Singapore court sentenced Clarisse Ling, 20, to one year of probation and 60 hours of community service on charges of false rape reporting. It also banned people from going out every night from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. during the probation period. The bail was set at 5,000 Singapore dollars (about 5.53 million won).
According to prosecutors, Ling promised to engage in prostitution with a 43-year-old man he met through a dating platform in March this year.
The two went to the hotel after drinking, and sex was agreed upon.
Since then, Ling has requested 1,200 Singapore dollars instead of 200 Singapore dollars (about 220,000 won) that he first agreed to.
When the man refused and offered S$500, she threatened to file a rape report.
In fact, Ring falsely reported to the police that he was sexually assaulted while drunk, and later sent a threatening message to the man. However, police checked the hotel's CCTV and found circumstantial evidence contrary to her claims, and Ling admitted to lying.
After the court ruling, her lawyer said "She has learned a great lesson from this case and will have the opportunity to reflect on her actions during the probation period."
